As the badges on their chests.
They do their job, they give it all,
They give to it their best.
They know there is no fortune.
They know there'll be no fame.
They know you may dislike them.
But they do it just the same.
Underneath those badges
Their hearts beat all as one.
They don't give up because they know
Then evil would have won.
Courage is engraved there
Upon each brave one's chest.
Valor, honor, dignity
Are words that join the rest.
The words are not for us to see
Inscribed there just the same.
And when one fails to pass the test
Somehow they all get blamed.
The hearts beneath those badges
Aren't made of hardened steel.
Did you think a badge was armor?
Did you think they couldn't feel?
They stand so tall in front of us
These valiant souls so few.
I thank them now for all they do.
I thank them now, won't you?
