[Verse 1]
Monday morning, payslip stack
Red pen line by line
Timesheets, deadlines, email chains
I wore that suit just fine
But every time I crossed that station
Saw the same old strain
I kept hearing something in me
Call my name again
[Pre-Chorus]
So I trained the hours
Took the long road slow
From tidy files and numbers
To where the brave ones go
[Chorus]
British Transport Police
That’s where I’m headed now
British Transport Police
I found my reason somehow
Blue lamp on my shoulder
Standing where the tracks run free
From payroll to the platform
British Transport Police
[Verse 2]
Now it’s boots on cold concrete
Dawn under grey-sky steel
Watching over platforms
For the tired, the rushed, the real
Every face a different story
Every shift a different test
I left the desk and chose the line
I knew I’d do my best
[Pre-Chorus]
No more living in the margins
I stepped into the flame
Hands steady, mind still learning
Same me, new name
[Chorus]
British Transport Police
That’s where I’m headed now
British Transport Police
I found my reason somehow
Blue lamp on my shoulder
Standing where the tracks run free
From payroll to the platform
British Transport Police
[Bridge]
I know what it means to count the hours
I know what it means to wait
Now I count on courage
And meet the world at the gate
If you ask me why I changed, love
I’ll say it plain and true
I wanted a life that matters
So I went and chose the blue
[Final Chorus]
British Transport Police
That’s where I’m standing now
British Transport Police
I wear it like a vow
Blue lamp on my shoulder
Keeping watch where the tracks run free
From payroll to the platform
British Transport Police
[Outro]
From payroll to the platform
British Transport Police
