TRIBUTE TO AN OFFICER

IT WAS A QUITE, WARM EVENING IN THE MONTH OF JUNE
BUT EVERYTHING CHANGED SUDDENLY AND SO SOON

HE WAS ALONE IN HIS PATROL CAR
WHEN HE WAS SHOT FROM NOT TO FAR

THE MONSTER HAD A PLAN HE'D SHOOT AND RUN
BUT NOT BEFORE STEALING AN OFFICERS GUN

A CITY MOURNS AN OFFICER, A HERO SO BRAVE,
IT ISNT FAIR, HE WAS TOO YOUNG FOR A GRAVE

AS WE AS A COMMUNITY MOURN MARKS LOSS WE CRY
SOMEBODY EXPLAIN, PLEASE TELL US WHY

TO HIS DAUGHTER LILLY AND YVONNE HIS WIFE
WE KNOW THAT MARK WAS YOUR ENTIRE LIFE

TO HIS PARENTS HE WAS 1 OF 2 SONS,
TO THE COMMUNITY HE WAS A BRAVE HERO , WHO DIED FOR A GUN

TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF STERLING HEIGHTS
KEEP UP THE MAN HUNT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT

WE MUST NOW REMAIN BRAVE STAND FIRM AND TALL
FOR BADGE 76 IS REMEMBERED BY ALL
