[Verse 1] Morning light across the street, Little footsteps, simple dreams. Friendly faces passing by, White clouds drifting through the sky. There’s so much I want to keep— Quiet days and peaceful sleep, Every laugh, every hello, Every little place I know. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a reason why Someone’s tears should catch my eye. If you’re hurting, if you’re scared, I could never leave you there. [Chorus] I can take the hurt, But I can’t watch you cry. If somebody needs me, I’ll be right there by their side. I don’t fight because I want to, I fight because I care. For every life I treasure, For the love that we all share. If what I love is in danger, I won’t turn away. With a bright heart leading onward, I’ll protect this peaceful day. [Verse 2] Red paws running next to mine, Two small shadows keeping time. Through the alleys, through the rain, Off we go to help again. Maybe courage isn’t loud. Maybe heroes don’t need crowds. Maybe all it really takes Is a heart that moves when someone aches. [Pre-Chorus] I may stumble, I may fall, I may not feel brave at all. But if someone calls for help, I’ll get up and run again. [Chorus] I can take the hurt, But I can’t watch you cry. If somebody needs me, I’ll be right there by their side. I don’t fight because I want to, I fight because I care. For every life I treasure, For the love that we all share. If what I love is in danger, I won’t turn away. With a bright heart leading onward, I’ll protect this peaceful day. [Bridge] I love the sound of laughter. I love the open sky. I love the little moments That softly pass us by. So if the dark comes closer, I’ll stand between the two. The things that make this world worth loving— I’ll keep them safe for you. [Final Chorus] I can bear the pain If it means you’re safe tonight. I can walk through danger And still believe in light. I don’t have to hate my enemy. I don’t have to love the fight. I only need to remember What I’m standing here to keep alive. Every friend and every stranger, Every dream along the way— For all the things that I love, I won’t hesitate. And when the danger’s over, When the fear has gone away, We’ll walk back home together To another peaceful day.
