I Am The Officer

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 person you lean upon, The one you cast your scorn upon.
The one you bring your troubles to, All of these people I have 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 just a person just like you.
And through the years I have come to see, That I am not always what you ask of me.
So take this badge, take this gun, Will you take it?.. Will Anyone?
And when you watch a person die, And you hear a battered baby cry,
Then do you think that you can be, All these things you ask of me?
I have a wife and I have kids, I have fear and so do they.
Will I come home? Can I pay the bills? I have a job to do, please help me.
I am the officer.
