A PART OF AMERICA DIED Somebody killed a policeman today A piece of our country he swore to protect
The suspect who shot him will stand up in court, While a young widowed mother must work for her kids The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too. Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half mast, Yes, somebody killed a policeman today,
While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors, Now his ghost walks a beat on a dark city street, He answered the call, and gave us his all
and a part of America died.
will be buried with him at his side.
with counsel demanding his rights,
and spend many lonely nights.
Just as if he's gone off to war.
to his name they will add a gold star.
It happened in your town or mine.
A cop put his life on the line.
and he stands at each new rookies side.
And a part of America died.
"HERO IN HEAVEN " By Marie Menna
God had a plan, to take you away. Now you're at peace, You are our hero in heaven. So hold on, let time heal all hearts. You are our hero in heaven.
Until we meet again.. we'll see you again..
In memory of PO Michael R. Frey, Eastchester PD
For a copy of this CD, call 914-961-3464
No one expected this to happen on that day.
Your courage, your smile, and all your good deeds,
ripped away from us, in our hour of need.
where darkness lurks no more.
You embraced the light, now on angels wings you'll soar.
The sun will rise the sun will set,
but we won't forget you.
You'll live forever, in our hearts.
Fly away, fly away.
Until we meet again, I'll see you again.
You'll always be our friend. For always.
Let faith lend a hand, to make a new start.
We will fly on the wings of your love,
it is then we will rise above.
You'll live forever, in our hearts.
Fly away, fly away.
Until we meet again, I'll see you again.
You'll always be our friend. For always.
you'll always be our friend, Michael Frey.
Until we meet again.. we'll see you again..
You'll always be our friend..
our heroes in heaven.
