The night shift In the city Mean streets Grimey and gritty The fearless run Into the jaws of the crime Street by street Stopping the trouble in time Some walk undercover Some link arms with each other Deep in the night Beats the heart of the warrior The shield that protects one and all In the heat of the night Beats the heart of the warrior Fighting together They stand, rise or fall Fire Evil stranger Wild winds Spread the danger By air and land Hoping to smother the flames Heroes risk their lives Running with ice in their veins Then calmly, bravely Pull a family to safety Deep in the night Beats the heart of the warrior The shield that protects one and all In the heat of the night Beats the heart of the warrior Fighting together They stand, rise or fall How does it feel To be a human shield For someone else's life To be the sacrifice How can we repay Those who stand in harm's way Who know the lives they save Are worth any price Deep in the night Beats the heart of the warrior The shield that protects one and all In the heat of the night Beats the heart of the warrior Fighting together They stand, rise or fall
