Men in Blue
I am a husband, father
A son, a brother
Made of blood and blue
I could be no other
My heart is that of a man
My soul solid and true
Willpower made of steel
For whatever I must do
My eyes don’t see like yours do
The hurt, the pain, the tears
Some things I can’t leave behind
It remains throughout the years
But we are strong
Together or alone
Every night we pray
Just to make it home
We are the sheepdogs
We are the men in blue
Guarding and protecting
Watching over you
Women of the Badge
Pretty in pink
Dangerous in blue
She sheds a tear for me
And another one for you
Children dreaming
Ahead of their lives
Some mothers, sisters
And others are wives
Together united
Alone we stand tall
Though times broken hearted
We never shall fall
