Lyrics

Started out with a dream had to pay my own way

Self-sponsored through the academy eight hours a day

Seven hundred seventy hours over six long months

Failed my first test but I knew I had to confront

Got sick in the middle almost took me down

But I fought back returned didn't let myself drown


But I fought back returned didn't let myself drown


After the academy grind thought I'd catch a break

But the hardest hit came from where I'd stake

My hometown agency over 40 rides bonds I made

Kissed it all goodbye dreams began to fade

Their policy said If you've bought or sold

Here you can't be enrolled

I knew those streets I knew those men but it wasn't enough

That rejection left me rough


Chief said I wasn't a good fit but I refused to quit

Kept pushing forward didn't let my fire dim a bit

Through the trials and doubts I stood my ground

Now I'm standing tall no longer bound


My past doesn't define me but my journey's where I stand

The past is behind me my experiences make me who I am

The past is just a shadow but my steps define the man

Who I was is just a chapter who I am is in my hands


Worked two jobs day and night just to gain some ground

Mall guard hospital safety focused on the grind couldn't let it break me

Drove hours for a shot no sleep just a hope

Polygraph said I was lying felt like I was at the end of my rope

Borrowed money to stay car got hit no sleep in sight

But I never gave up I knew my future was bright


After all the struggles I thought the chance had slipped away

I kept on pushing knowing I'd see the day

Then came the call said my time had finally come

A chance to wear the badge and prove what I've become


My past doesn't define me but my journey's where I stand

The past is behind me my experiences make me who I am

The past is just a shadow but my steps define the man

Who I was is just a chapter who I am is in my hands


When the call came through my moment had arrived

Law enforcement said yes I felt so alive

Now I'm on the beat patrolling these streets

Showing what I've got I've finally earned my spot


My past doesn't define me but my journey's where I stand

The past is behind me my experiences make me who I am

The past is just a shadow but my steps define the man

Who I was is just a chapter who I am is in my hands
