Washington's Finest

Officers getting ready for duty The reason they were hired When the shooting started Only one could return fire When the smoke had cleared Four officers lay dead As word spread in the community A thousand tears were shed The killer managed to get away As he had someone drive the getaway car So many people only hoping That he didn't get to go to far The next night an officer all alone Saw a stranger start to approach So before this person could kill again The officer exercised oath The one that says To protect and serve That's just what the officer did As he had steel for nerves The suspect had one of the officers gun He was going to use it on a cop But before he could kill again The officers shot, made him stop Thousands attended the funeral Officers came from everywhere Standing in solidarity To show the world they care A sea of blue with red mixed in Shoulder to shoulder they stood Wanting to do so much more If they only could 5-22-10/RJH
