As I leave my house, and grab my gear

It’s my protection, it’s what I wear

I look to the sky, and I start to stare

Like every day, of every year

I talk to God, and bend his ears

I say what I say, and hope he hears

And asked him to protect, and give his care

To the ones that I, hold most dear

In the event, I am not there

I feel upset, I have some fear

For I could not, fully bear

To see my girls, shed a tear
