Guard the Line

[Intro]
You don't have to love the fight
You just have to know what you're protecting

[Verse 1]
You keep your hands steady, your head on straight
Know every exit, read every face
You learned control before you learned force
A line in the sand, a code, a course
You don't go looking to prove you're tough
But when they corner the weak, enough is enough
You stand between harm and the ones you love
Calm in your chest, feet planted firm

[Pre-Chorus]
You had the strength to choose the quiet way
You have the skill to stop what comes your way

[Chorus]
Good people guard the line when the cruel ones press
Strong enough to end it, wise enough to use less
You could be a menace, but you don't make a crown
When they bring harm to your door, you take that evil down
Good people guard the line, hold steady, hold ground
You could be the danger—still you choose what is right

[Verse 2]
No bragging after, no story to sell
Just get folks home and make sure they're well
You train for the moment you hope never comes
Keep a clear mind when the panic drum runs
They mistake your patience for a lack of nerve
Till you step in place and they get what they deserve
Not for a thrill, not for applause
You move to protect, then you stop when it's done

[Pre-Chorus]
You had the strength to choose the quiet way
You have the skill to stop what comes your way

[Chorus]
Good people guard the line when the cruel ones press
Strong enough to end it, wise enough to use less
You could be a menace, but you don't make a crown
When they bring harm to your door, you take that evil down
Good people guard the line, hold steady, hold ground
You could be the danger—still you choose what is right

[Bridge]
Power with a purpose, courage under control
A shield for the frightened, a wall for the bold
No hunger for chaos, no thirst for a name
Just keeping the innocent out of their aim

[Final Chorus]
Good people guard the line when the cruel ones press
Strong enough to end it, wise enough to use less
You could be a menace, but you don't make a crown
When they bring harm to your door, you take that evil down
Good people guard the line, hold steady, hold ground
You could be the danger—still you choose what is right

[Outro]
Strong enough to stop it
Wise enough to know when
