"I can I am" Can you wake up at 5am when you worked the evening before Can you then keep your eyes open even though your body is sore Can you not get upset whilst patrolling your beat When your feet are hurting and you can't stand the heat. I can and I am. Can you look and treat everyone the same Can you handle it when you get the blame Because you are supposed to always be there When someone is suffering and in despair I can and I am Can you keep control when a shooting is on When you turn up and the person's brains are gone Can you not hold back the anger and tears Can you not go to sleep because your full of fear I can and I am Can you hold a strange man in the night When his wife has died and has taken flight Can you tell a child, mommy has died Can you wear that uniform full of pride I can and I am Can you forget the nightmares you had of a telling a normal family that their lost Dad Can you testify in court along side your mates When the traffic was too bad and you were just too late I can and I am Can you drink so much because you had a rough 12 hour day When people have died and crooks held you at bay Can you look at your family and tell them why Why you get depressed when you see a innocent person die I can and I am Can you watch a man waive a knife in your face Then get sued because you used the mace Can you wait until you get home to break down and cry Can you imagine life's that bad you want to die I can and I am Can I imagine not seeing anything bad Can I imagine never getting sad I am a Police Officer and all this I do I sometimes wish this wasn't me and for one day be you.
