| A Police Officer's Life (A moment for reflection) |
| I have been where you fear to be I have seen what you fear to see I have done what you fear to do All these things I have done for you. |
| I am the one you lean upon The one you cast your scorn upon The one you bring your troubles to All these people I've been for you. |
| The one you ask to stand apart The one you feel should have no heart The one you call the officer in blue But I am human just like you. |
| And through the years I've come to see That I am not what you ask of me So take this badge and take this gun Will you take it? Will anyone? |
| And when you watch a person die And hear a battered baby cry Then do you think that you can be All these things that you ask of me? |
