Lyrics

When the day is done

Hold me close

Promises are ours to keep

All the clouds will disappear

So tell me how it is that a hero needs saving

How he needs that support to keep his roof from caving

Holding tight on that .45 as a tear drops from his eye

Picturing his mom is all thats kept him alive

Cause he's buried his friends, and he's buried his thoughts

Suppressed these demons inside until his stomach's in knots

I see you on your knees so please let me give you help

Pick you up, lift you up, and put you on that top shelf

Trying to improve but he keeps dealing with this feeling

Like he can't push up any harder his head has hit the ceiling

He's seen so many hurt, and so many in trouble

So who's to help him keep his world from turning to rubble

Time and time again he's witnessed someone's son on the pavement

Yet the evil that he sees is on TV as entertainment

Telling him to be strong through it all but these thoughts he's still braving

So tell me again how a hero needs saving

When the day is done (when that day is done, yeah)

Hold me close (hold me close baby, yeah, never let me go)

Promises are ours to keep (promise to return home back to you)

All the clouds will disappear (blue skies on my horizon inside)

Give a kiss to his boy and a kiss to his girl

Each day he walks away from these things in his world

Expected to be the rock solid from bottom to top

He's so hard in the streets but inside he feels so soft

He's dodged bullets and knives, stopped me from beating wives

But boom someone tries to take his gun, and now he took a life

And all you do is stare, spread rumors he don't care

Replaying that moment, can't disown it with a gun to his hair

It ain't fair, he knew when he started he'd go so far

You had a long day at work, he failed at CPR

His motivation's gone no more fire in his eyes

Went from peaceful nights to dreams of crimes scenes and cries

He never could guess his friend would take two to the chest

But forget the pain he pushes back like bring on the rest

As you're planning you weekend he's planning out his headstone engraving

So go and tell me again how a hero needs saving

When the day is done (when that day is done, yeah)

Hold me close (hold me close baby, yeah, never let me go)

Promises are ours to keep (promise to return home back to you)

All the clouds will disappear (blue skies on my horizon inside)

Who can say where the road will go

As the world goes round and round

Wipe away your tears baby

I am home

We've lost too many heroes to the war in their minds

We must do something better we can't keep leaving them behind

Are you picturing death or is death picturing you

The struggle's real inside so let me tell you what you'll do

Rise back up, get back up, and tell us how you feel

You can't bottle it up any longer show us that its real

Like a bird set free now you see how life can be so amazing

Nothing feels better than saving a hero that needed saving

When the day is done

Hold me close

Promises are ours to keep

All the clouds will disappear

When the day is done (when that day is done, yeah)

Hold me close (hold me close baby, yeah, never let me go)

Promises are ours to keep (promise to return home back to you)

All the clouds will disappear (blue skies on my horizon inside)
