In My Dreams

In my dreams I still wear the blue
As I patrol the streets being strong too
And all the things I saw and have done
Are as clear now as when they were won

I can feel as its still waiting 
Not going away -  ready and anticipating 
But they say now I don’t know what it’s like
To wear the blue now
and carry on the fight

Then if they were to drive along with me
I’d show them the way for free
And teach them how
in the end
The rule of law and the right to defend

For wearing the blue with a gun
Means that a lot is left unsung
So gather the team it’s time to show
How we handled it all in the get go.
