Somebody Died For Me
He was a troubled kid in and out of jail
When his daddy said this is the last time I'll pay bail
So he enlisted in the army and they sent him to Iraq
He was a different man when he came back
Some people said the army must've whipped you into shape
But he said, "That's not the reason that I've changed"
Somebody died for me (before I even asked for help)
Gave his life for me (when I couldn't save myself)
I cannot live the way I lived, or be the way I was
Every day's a gift to me because (somebody died for me)
Now they fold the flag and attach a silver star
As the grieving mother leans against his arm
Then he stands before the family and does his best to tell
How he survived the night his best friend fell
No one who ever knew him was surprised he died that way
He always lived for Jesus, oh, he used to always say
Somebody died for me (before I even asked for help)
Gave his life for me (when I couldn't save myself)
I cannot live the way I lived or be the way I was
Every day's a gift to me because (somebody died for me)
Now I don't wanna waste a moment
Of the time that I have left
With every breath I'm given
God help me not forget
God help me not forget
Somebody died for me (before I even asked for help)
Gave his life for me (when I couldn't save myself)
I cannot live the way I lived or be the way I was
Every day's a gift to me because
Every day's a gift to me because (somebody died for me)
When his daddy said this is the last time I'll pay bail
So he enlisted in the army and they sent him to Iraq
He was a different man when he came back
Some people said the army must've whipped you into shape
But he said, "That's not the reason that I've changed"
Somebody died for me (before I even asked for help)
Gave his life for me (when I couldn't save myself)
I cannot live the way I lived, or be the way I was
Every day's a gift to me because (somebody died for me)
Now they fold the flag and attach a silver star
As the grieving mother leans against his arm
Then he stands before the family and does his best to tell
How he survived the night his best friend fell
No one who ever knew him was surprised he died that way
He always lived for Jesus, oh, he used to always say
Somebody died for me (before I even asked for help)
Gave his life for me (when I couldn't save myself)
I cannot live the way I lived or be the way I was
Every day's a gift to me because (somebody died for me)
Now I don't wanna waste a moment
Of the time that I have left
With every breath I'm given
God help me not forget
God help me not forget
Somebody died for me (before I even asked for help)
Gave his life for me (when I couldn't save myself)
I cannot live the way I lived or be the way I was
Every day's a gift to me because
Every day's a gift to me because (somebody died for me)
