He's halfin' his sandwich, his chips and Baby Ruth

Puttin' them back in a sack his mama packed

With a sticker that say's ‘Jesus Loves You'

He's jumpin off the bus, runnin' in the house

Talkin' to mom about his day

Hidin' that paper sack in a baseball glove

Ridin' his bike straight to the freeway

Where there's an old man with a shoppin' cart

With a dirty face and a purple heart

Who's sayin' son you'll never know how much this means



Boy say's

Wouldn't you do this for me

If I were reachin' out to you

Wouldn't you give me food to eat if I were hungry to

Wouldn't you do this for me



Tonight, that little boy's dad is flyin' down the freeway

It's pourin' rain as he leaves the road

He's rolling down that concrete bank

Through the flames and the broken glass

An old man takes his hand

Finds a cell phone on the backseat

He's sayin' get here fast as you can

Now the bum that lives beneath the bridge

Pulls him safely from that flooding ditch

Man asked why'd you risk your life to save mine



He said

Wouldn't you do this for me

If I were reachin' out to you

Wouldn't you try to save my life, if I needed you to

Wouldn't you do this for me



Now he's layin' in that hospital bed prayin' a silent prayer

And he can't help but ask him, 

Lord, did you put that beggar there

As a nurse pulls back the curtains

All he can see is a billboard sign

A sixty foot Jesus hangin' on the cross

At the bottom, just one line



Wouldn't you do this for me

Wouldn't you do this for me

Wouldn't you
