lyrics

Doctor, oh doctor
Won’t you give me some good news
The battle’s lost
The war’s to lose
And there’s nothing
I wouldn’t do
To push on for another few
To see this thing
I’ve started through

Sixteen years too late
What was stolen
Can’t be repaid

Children, oh children
You are young and you are bright
And I’ve prepared you for the fight
Taught that strength doesn’t
Always mean might
That the road is rough so
Hold on tight
And I’ll step in to that
Good night

Father, oh father
Aren’t you proud of me?
I made RCMP
To do my good duty
I moved my family
To Tumbler Ridge, BC
And I hope that you remember me
For what I was and what I meant to be
