Die For You - Cutline

He was begging by the mini mart

Who’da guessed he had a purple heart

Scars underneath his bearded chin?

I bet you don’t remember him

'Cause you were running 20 minutes late

And he was only getting in your way

But when you brushed by that wounded soul

Last Thursday afternoon

You met somebody who would die for you

Phone rang at 8 last night

Who’d call at such a crazy time

Getting kids into bath and bed

Can’t talk’s about all you said

All he wanted was a Saturday

Morning conversation down at bakers cafe

You weren’t thinking when you told your dad

Try back in a week or two

But you hurt someone that would die for you

Somebody who cared so much

They’d gladly give it all up

If that is what they had to do

It runs deeper than flesh and blood

Heaven knows no greater love

Than the sacrificed

They’d make to see you through

Somebody who would die for you

Just another Colorado day

Morning practice for her high school play

From out of no where the bullets came fast

Shattered more than library glass

They asked her if she believed in your name

And she didn’t even hesitate

God, I can’t help but wondering

If I had been in her shoes

Would I be somebody who would die for you?

Somebody who cared so much

They’d gladly give it all up

If that is what they had to do

It runs deeper than flesh and blood

Heaven knows no greater love

Than the sacrifice you made to see us through

Your son died for me

Would I be somebody who would die for you?
