SIRENS IN THE NIGHT
What is it that takes from us the quiet peace of the night,
Sitting back relaxing, sounds come screaming from a distance.
Painful to the ears and mind, not pleasant this sound at times,
Blessings of music if at this moment a life may be on the line.
Lights of beauty or lights of darkness and pain are noticed in the dark,
Different lights and sirens depending on what danger haunts the night.
A fire in a house, a soul stricken with sickness takes a team of heroes seen,
Crime in the streets, those without morals come out after the sun fades away.
Another type of man and woman steps out into the dark when bad shows up,
Sirens in the night, sirens of peace, sirens, and lights that might save a life.
