Bill Deasy pitches in on song for Fallen Heroes

Bill Garrison, a cousin of fallen police officer Paul Sciullo, approached well-known Pittsburgh songwriter Bill Deasy to write a song in memory of Sciullo, Stephen Mayhle and Eric Kelly, who were shot on April 4 in Stanton Heights.

The result is "I'll Come to You," which likely will be performed Monday at the Fallen Heroes concert at the Amphitheatre at Station Square.

"It is a song of hope in the midst of despair," Garrison wrote. "A story of courage in the face of danger. A promise that every officer makes when he or she puts on the uniform -- to be there when we need them. That day in April will forever be etched on my soul and on the souls of thousands, as will the memory of my cousin, Paul, and his brothers and sisters in blue."

Here are the lyrics:

I'll Come to You

(Garrison/Deasy)

Life-size mother Mary

Watches from the yard

As he runs across the sidewalk

And jumps into his car

Darkness turns to daylight

His watch nearing its end

The peaceful morning shattered

By the senseless violence

Through the smoke the fallen hero says --

I believe in what I'm doing

I believe in who I am

I signed up for this danger

And I'm proud to take my stand

I will not rest my brothers

And my sisters dressed in blue

I will stay on guard forever

Just call, I'll come to you

Round the brothers and the sisters

The mothers and the dads

The children and the cousins

And the friends each of them had

The grieving city gathers

As hearts are opened wide

Streets washed clean by teardrops

The population cries

The heroes' words still echo through the skies

I believe in what I'm doing

I believe in who I am

I signed up for this danger

And I'm proud to take my stand

I will not rest my brothers

And my sisters dressed in blue

I will stay on guard forever

Just call, I'll come to you

Just remember the words

To protect and to serve

And believe in what you're doing

No matter what you face

Stand your ground through danger

With courage, strength and grace

Do not rest my brothers

And my sisters dressed in blue

Stay on guard forever

And when you call, I'll come to you

I'll come to you...

I will come to you
