He was begging at the mini mart
Who'd 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
I can't talk 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 somebody who would die for you

Somebody who cared so much
They'd gladly given 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 sacrificed
They'd make to see you through
Somebody who would die for you

Just another Colorado day
Morning practice for her highschool play
From out of no where the bullets came fast
They shattered more than library glass

That's ... if she believed in your name
And she didn't even hesitate
God, I can't help but wondering
If I've been in her shoes
Would I be somebody who would die for you?

Somebody who cared so much
They'd gladly given 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?
