The Job That'll Help Change Lives


Helping victims that have been stabbed with a knife,

That's the kind of job I want to change a life.

Helping the ones who have been hurt and abused,

That's the job I choose.

Putting away those child molesters 

Is a victory that I would love to give the protestors.

Catching a murderer,

Is the closure I want to give a grieving mother.

Not as in becoming a cop,

Even though I want all the crime to stop,

But more of a criminologist.

I want to end cases and put them to rest.

Or helping the Special Victims

Because I know that will help millions.

One job to change my life,

No one job to change all lives.
