[Intro – Spoken / No Beat] Everyone love freedom — But somebody gotta guard it ⸻ [Verse 1] Late night patrol, blue lights slicing the silence Young cop gripping the wheel while he fighting the violence — Radio whispering codes through the static Heartbeat heavy but the focus automatic Hold the line— Family at home sending prayers through the ceiling Protectors in the streets where the darkness be breathing ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] They carry the weight of a nation— On shoulders that never complain— Standing between all the chaos And homes with a porch light and name ⸻ [Chorus] If you sleep safe tonight say amen For the women and the brave young men Standing tall where the chaos begins When the sirens cry through the midnight sky They the reason the sunrise arrive Yeah the brave keep the hope alive So if you breathing free when the morning shine Say a prayer for the ones on the line Hold the line — hold the line ⸻ [Post-Chorus] Stand strong Stand tall ⸻ [Verse 2] Boots in the sand where the sunrise burning Young troop posted while the whole world turning Letters from home in a pocket he holding Picture of his daughter smiling and glowing — Mind on the mission but the soul feel heavy Freedom ain’t free — it’s protected by many ⸻ [Bridge –] Some names carved deep into stone Some never made it back home But every salute in the morning light Keeps their courage alive tonight ⸻ [Final Chorus] If you sleep safe tonight say amen For the women and the brave young men Standing tall where the chaos begins When the sirens cry through the midnight sky They the reason the sunrise arrive Yeah the brave keep the hope alive So if you breathing free when the morning shine Say a prayer for the ones on the line Hold the line — hold the line ⸻ [Outro] Respect for the badge Honor for the flag To serve and Protect, that’s courage.
