I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE

Bobby was a Navy man, toured the ocean floor
Guarding was his duty, he never asked for anything more
I was proud to call him a hero, my father and a friend
His courage was unspoken
When I was nine years old, daddy moved us to New York City
Working as a fireman down at Engine #3
He loved to wera his colors and that FDNY shirt
Helping kind folks in times of hurt
I remember the time he answered the call
My kitty was up a tree, daddy looked at me and he told me
?I?ll take it from here
Son, show the world no fear
I?ll take it from here
Dry away your last tear
Stand tall and breath in deep, and you?ll grow to be a man
One day you?ll know, and you?ll take it from there?
The summer I turned 21, I was built like a Marine
Geared up for our country, respecting all it meant to me
Serving our great nation, I took an oath to do my best
Honor mattered most and a few things else
On that dreadful morning the twin towers fell
Daddy was climbing stairs, and like so many, he died unselfishly
I?ll take it from here
God rest your his precious soul
I?ll take it from here
Better believe I?m in control
I?ll carry your torch with honor, pride and dignity
Rest assured I?ll take it from here
To all the innocent lives lost that fateful day
Your death was not in vain
I?ll carry your torch with honor, pride and dignity
Rest assured I?ll take it from here
