Let You Go

You were a father, a hero, a leader
Life was all good but with you it was sweeter
Always on time whenever we would need you
Fighting our crimes and suppressing our evil

Not every hero wears a cape
Had your integrity that's all it takes
The good die young that's why you went away
I just hate that I never said I love you, and thanks

Badge sparkle like a diamond when it hit the light
Joking on the radio to get us all through the night
Black boots freshly polished in your closet
Picture of your family folded sitting in your wallet
Called me from academy, talked about when we graduate
All the changes that you'd like to see get made and put in place
Greatest power's getting people to believe and see your vision
Well on your way to becoming chief of your division

Not every hero wears a cape
Had your integrity that's all it takes
The good die young that's why you went away
I just hate that I never said I love you, and thanks

We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go
We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go

All week you worked a double shift
Cause I needed time, when my mom was sick
That girl with cancer you took on patrol, let hit the siren
She lived, when I told you didn't, we started crying
Still, can't help but feel this is a drill
But it's real, I really need to take some time and heal
We built a building, and named it after you
Uphold your legacy is what we're going to do
Funded your kids' college, from forming a foundation
Now you send kids to college for free around the nation
God needed a soldier to help protect the pearly gates
I just hate, I never said I love you and thanks

We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go
We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go

You were a father, a hero, a leader
Life was all good but with you it was sweeter
Always on time whenever we would need you
Fighting our crime and suppressing our evil

Not every hero wears a cape
Had your integrity that's all it takes
The good die young that's why you went away
I just hate that I never said I love you, and thanks

We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go
We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go
We will never let you go
We don't, want to, forget or let you go
We will never let you go
We will never let you go
