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)
