Oh, Samuel Martin
You came when I needed light
Mmm, yeah
I was drowning in the darkness, broken and alone
Five kids and shattered dreams, no place to call my home
PTSD and anxiety, they had me by the throat
Then I found your calm on Facebook, read every word you wrote
Samuel Martin, you spoke life into my soul
Nights of conversation, you made me feel whole
You said believe in yourself, chase every single dream
Now I'm a hostage negotiator, stronger than I've ever been
Samuel Martin, my guardian sent from above
You taught me hope, you showed me love
Warrant Officer now, LLB in my hand
All because you helped me stand
Oh, Samuel Martin, you're my brother, my friend
I'll be grateful to the end, mmm
From broken to believing, you walked me through the pain
You saw the warrior in me when all I saw was shame
Different provinces can't break what we've become
You're my biggest cheerleader, my number one
Vispol Commander, yeah, I wear it proud
But none of this would matter without you in my crowd
Samuel Martin, this song's my thank you note
For every midnight message, every word you wrote
Samuel Martin, my guardian sent from above
You taught me hope, you showed me love
Warrant Officer now, LLB in my hand
All because you helped me stand
Oh, Samuel Martin, you're my brother, my friend
I'll be grateful to the end
God sent you my way, that's right
Samuel Martin, you're my light
Yeah, always grateful, always true
This one's for you
