Policeman by: Gerard Haughey I start my day To St. Michael I pray St. Michael protect me My battle is just God's Commandments, He Commands! Will I do what I must? These hard streets Where the weather beats makes my heart beat too I drift and sift At what the sinners brew. I keep my heart on the Lord And my hand on my sword The job will ask of me Things I cannot always afford. God is on my side, I believe this The same is true of my weapon Every judge in a chamber Locked and loaded! Still I fear the lessons Of the actions I decide I have chosen to understand That here are lives in my hand. Will I know whom I shall meet today When I hear the call And am on my way Not at first, but soon I will A man of God, perhaps lost and astray Or an evil man to take my Soul away How will I know for sure today The man I see before my way? Be certain that voices within will chatter Flooded with information Of the moral matter Escalation arrives The situation is dire What can I do for you my Lord As my hope does tire I have seconds to think And seconds to decide Do I use my voice, my muscle or the arm on my side In an instant I will choose My heart in the balance My mind taking over My Soul for this man? Actions unfold Decisions take course We tussle the man Ten policemen with force The danger is gone hearts pump strong The flood of emotions Of Right vs. Wrong Soon we all part His justice will start As laws take over In much calmer courts Lord I know too In one second I'm mistaken That my very own life can too be taken Do I know of these threads that drape my bones Yes, I do!
