Terminal 082 - Beacon (The Story of a USMS explosive Detection K9) Lyrics

Born in Kentucky, just a pup with a spark
Destined to lead the blind through the dark
But that path wasn't meant to be his way
A black lab mix who had more to say

He found his way to the marshal's side
Chasing dreams in squirrels far and wide
From the Pentagon's gates to the Super Bowl
Beacon's heart was brave, his spirit whole

Beacon's light shines on through the years
Through the pain, the laughter, and the tears
He wasn't just a dog, he was a friend
In every mission to the very end

With every step, with every paw
He showed the world what love could draw
Beacon's light still leads the way
In our hearts he'll always stay

September morning, smoke in the sky
The Pentagon still burning, questions why
Beacon stood firm with courage and grace
Saying to his handler, I'll keep the pace

From Supreme Court halls to the city streets
Beacon's loyalty no force could beat
He wasn't just searching, he was giving love
A hero on earth and now up above

Beacon's light shines on through the years
Through the pain, the laughter, and the tears
He wasn't just a dog, he was a friend
In every mission to the very end

With every step, with every paw
He showed the world what love could draw
Beacon's light still leads the way
In our hearts he'll always stay

Three burgers for the final goodbye
In his handler's arms with a peaceful sigh
His mission complete, his duty done
But his memory will outshine the sun

Beacon's light shines on through the years
Through the pain, the laughter, and the tears
He wasn't just a dog, he was a friend
In every mission to the very end

With every step, with every paw
He showed the world what love could draw
Beacon's light still leads the way
In our hearts he'll always stay

So here's to the hero, the friend, the guide
Beacon who walked by his handler's side
In fields of gold where he runs so free
Beacon's light will forever be
