Somebody Who Would Die for You - Tracy Lawrence

He was begging at 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 running twenty 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

The phone rang at eight last night

Who’d call at such a crazy time

Getting kids into bath and bed

«I can’t talk"is about all you said

All he wanted was a Saturday

Morning conversation down at Baker’s cafe

You weren’t thinking when you told your dad

«Try back in a week or two»

But you hurt 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 make to see you through

Somebody who would die for you

Just another Colorado day

Morning practice for a high school play

From out of nowhere, the bullets came fast

They shattered more than the 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’d 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 it’s what they had to do

It runs deeper than flesh and blood

Heaven knows no greater love

Than the sacrifice You make to see us through

Your Son died for me, would I be

Somebody who would die for You
