Each time I don my uniform , My heart is filled with pride,
I start upon my daily ride , My partner at my side;
I think of all my loved ones, And I think about the guys,
Who face each day with courage With faith and compromise;
I strongly feel the honor To serve my fellow man ,
And to keep out Law and Order In the best way that I can;
I have a special duty For I must uphold the law,
But the fact remains I'm human So I'll think before I draw;
Like any other mortal, Each policeman has a name,
By any name, so like a rose, It is still the same;
I shall not fear corruption, Nor violence I may see,
But fear is also in the brave, My duty reigns with me;
Should I go down in battle And my partner's left to live,
He'll carry on for the two of us, For there's
no alternative; My buddies know that where I fell
Through glory and through hell, A man who does his
job should Know if he has done it well; I received at
graduation time This shield for all to see I vowed that
I'd out shine my shield It would not out shine me;
At the close of the day When I've checked in,
And I am home once more, I pray my neighbor
thinks of me As just the guy next door.... |
