He was beggin' by the mini-mart:
Who'd have guessed he had a Purple Heart.
Scars underneath his bearded chin:
I bet you don't remember him.
'Cause you were runnin' twenty minutes late,
An' he was only gettin' 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 eight last night:
Who'd call at such a crazy time?
Gettin' kids into bath an' bed.
"Can't talk's," 'bout all he said.
Well, all he wanted was a Saturday,
Morning conversation down at Baker's cafe.
You weren't thinkin' when you told your Dad: "Try back in a week or two,"
But you heard somebody who would die for you.

Somebody who cares so much,
They'd gladly give it all up,
If that's what they had to do.
It runs deeper than flesh and blood:
Heaven knows no greater love,
Than the sacrifice they made to see you through:
Somebody who would die for you.

Instrumental Break.

Just another Colorado day:
Mornin' practice for a High School play.
Well, outta no-where, the bullets came fast,
Shattered more than the library class.
They ask her if she believed in Your name,
An' she didn't even hesitate.
God, I can't help but wonderin' if I'd been in her shoes,
Would I be somebody who would die for you?

Somebody who cares so much,
They'd gladly give it all up,
If that's 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?
