That badge hanging by the bedroom door Means you’re walking into something I can’t ignore Every siren cuts straight through my chest While I’m praying God will do the rest You lace your boots, I fake a smile Trying not to break down for a little while Cause loving you means living with fear And fighting tears every time you disappear (Pre-Chorus) So I hold your hand a little tighter Every single night (Chorus) Kiss me safe tonight Come back home by morning light Lord, watch over every mile Every dark road, every fight Be the shield beside his heart When duty calls and we’re apart I’ll be right here praying through Till the blue lights bring you home safe too (Verse 2) People see the uniform and all that pride But they don’t see the ache I hide inside The waiting by the phone at 2 AM Wondering where you are again Still, you show up when the world runs scared Giving strength to people unprepared And somehow that makes me love you more Even with the worry I can’t ignore (Chorus) So kiss me safe tonight Come back home by morning light Lord, watch over every mile Every dark road, every fight Be the shield beside his heart When duty calls and we’re apart I’ll be right here praying through Till the blue lights bring you home safe too (Bridge) And if the fear gets heavy in my soul I’ll remember God is in control You protect this town each day And Heaven’s angels know your name (Final Chorus) So kiss me safe tonight Hold me close before goodbye I’ll leave the porch light shining bright Till I see those headlights in the drive No matter how long this road may be You’ll always come back home to me And I’ll thank God when the night is through For bringing my hero safely home too
