Mike

You pinned on the badge, so steady and true

Walking the path that your father once knew

I see him so clearly when I look in your face

A hardworking man stepping into his place

He left us too soon, but you took up the call

Standing up tall to watch over us all

Oh, Mike, we're so proud of the man you've become

A professional heart who protects everyone

But you carry the weight of that uniform's blue

You've got to stand back, let God do what He has to do

You can't fix it all, though I know how you try

Just trust in His hands and let the rest lie

Your nature is fierce, you're protective and brave

Giving your all for the people you save

But a guardian's spirit can carry a toll

When you try to take charge of what you can't control

Your dad's looking down from the heavens above

And both of us send you our endless love

Oh, Mike, we're so proud of the man you've become

A professional heart who protects everyone

But you carry the weight of that uniform's blue

You've got to stand back, let God do what He has to do

You can't fix it all, though I know how you try

Just trust in His hands and let the rest lie

It’s hard for a hero to lay down his guard

When the shifts are so long and the shadows are hard

But faith is a promise you don't have to hold

It's a shelter of peace when the night's getting cold

Oh, Mike, we're so proud of the man you've become

A professional heart who protects everyone

But you carry the weight of that uniform's blue

You've got to stand back, let God do what He has to do

We love you so deeply, keep your head held high

Just trust in His plan as the years roll by
