WE ARE THE POLICE
We're always out there serving and protecting
We will never falter while we're on the watch
You're sleeping soundly, the streets alive around you
We patrol our sectors our beats both day and night
We are the Police..........We're watching over you
We are the Police..........Protecting is what we do
A call from dispatch says that help is needed
We responded code 3 just to get to you
Arriving on scene, suspect began to scream
"I'm not going to jail tonight....Not without a fight"
We are the Police..........We're watching over you
We are the Police..........Protecting is what we do
Some people say....................We're insane
Some people call us................Foul names
But when you need help..........Who came
We are the Police..........We're watching over you
Our badge is battered, the uniform is tattered
We give all we have to keep you safe this night
Battle was hard fought we didn't give a second thought
Responding to a call for help is what we're all about
We are the Police..........We're watching over you
We are the Police..........Protecting is what we do
Our fallen heroes, are gone but not forgotten!
Thin blue line of courage, forever standing true
So please don't hate us and try not to forsake us
We will give our all, to keep you from all harm
We are the Police..........We're watching over you
We are the Police..........Protecting is what we do
