Be Strong, Be tall, Go on

How can i be strong?
Day in and, day out, the horrors i see,
keep assaulting my senses.
I see blood and pain all around,
i see people abandoned by society,
i see those in the center of a crowd be alone.
Tell me how to be strong!

How can i stand tall?
Day in, day out the horrors i see,
The weight of the world hangs heavy on my shoulders,
My back threatens to bow with the strain,
Some around me cant take it and collapse,
Yet more never accept the weight to start with.
Tell me how i can stand tall!

How can i be strong?
I just do.
I get out of bed every day and keep looking at the horrors.
I see the blood and i stop it,
I see the pain and i block it,
I see those in the crowd totally alone and i befriend them.
I am storong!

How can i stand tall?
I just do.
I get out of bed every day and keep looking at the horrors.
I take the weight of my problems on my shoulders.
Then i go searching for more.
I support those around me who are ready to fall,
I help those who can not even start onto the road,
I am tall

I go on because it is in me.
I go on because it is part of who i am.
I go on because without those like me, the world would be a darker place.
I go on because it is my job.
