He was beggin' by the mini-mart
Who'd guessed he had a purple heart
Scars underneath his bearded chin
Betcha 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 and bed
Can't talk about all he said
All he wanted was a Saturday
Mornin' conversation down at Bakers' Cafe
You weren't thinkin' when you told you dad
Try back in a week or two
But you heard somebody who would die for you
Chorus:
Somebody who cared so much
They'd gladly give it all up
If that's what they had to do
Runs deeper than flesh and blood
Heaven knows no greater love
Than the sacrafice they made
To see you through
Somebody who would die for you
Just another Colorado day
Mornin' practice for a high school play
But out of nowhere the bullets came fast
Shaddered more than the library class
They asked her if she believed in your name
An' she didn't even hesitate
God I can't help but wonder if
I'd been in her shoes
Would I'd be
Somebody who would die for you
Somebody who cared so much
They'd gladly give it all up
If that's what they had to do
Runs deeper than flesh and blood
Heaven knows no greater love
Than the sacrafice you made to see us through
Your son died for me
Would I be
Somebody who would die for you
