A New Day Has Come


A new day has come,
A new day has come,

I was waiting for so long,
for a miracle to come,
Everyone told me to be strong,
hold on, and don't shed a tear,
Through the darkness and good times,
I knew I'd make it through,
And the world thought i had it all,
but I was waiting for you,

Hush, love,
I see a light in the sky,
Oh, it's almost blinding me,
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love,

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears,
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears,
Let it shatter the wall for a new son,
A new day has come,
A new day has come,

Where it was dark now there's light,
Where there was pain now there's joy,
Where there was weakness, I've found my strength,
Oh, in the eyes of a boy,

Hush, love,
I see a light in the sky,
Oh, it's almost blinding me,
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love,
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears,
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears,
Let it shatter the wall for a new son,
A new day has come,
A new day has come,

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears,
Let it fill my soul and drown my fear,
Let it shatter the wall for a new son,
A new day has come,
Oooh, a light,
Hush, now,
I see a light in your eyes,
Oh, in the eyes of a boy,
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel, with love,
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel, with love,
Oooh,
Hush, now,
Hush, now.

Sam: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.
Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?
Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends on your assignment.
Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?
Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.
Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way?
Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor -- the fear of the unknown.
Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?
Sam: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.
Interviewer: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation.
Sam: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop.
Interviewer: Really?
Sam: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, people jump out at policemen -- different kinds of things. So that's probably the most stressful time.
Interviewer: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.
Sam: All right.
