I’D TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU

He was about to take a plane that night
But then he changed his mind
Another man took his place
That night the plane went down
He thought about the man’s children
How they’d never be the same
And he walked into his young son’s room
And in the moonlight he did pray
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
I’d take a bullet for you
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
That’s the way to heal

In a child’s voice she said my mommy died
Mommy had a broken heart
Mommy took a gun, mommy killed her pain
Mommy shot her broken heart
I lost too much that day she says
You can’t replace a mommy
Now I’ve got to make it on my own
But I hate it everyday
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
I’d take a bullet for you
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
That’s the way to heal

A woman stood in front of a shop window
Looking at the beautiful gowns
I stood behind and I wondered if she’d find
All the beauty she dreamed of
She turned around and she looked at me
With a smile so pure and sweet
The syndrome we call Downes doesn’t allow for frowns
As she walked on down the street
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
I’d take a bullet for you
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
That’s the way to heal

I’d take a bullet for you, baby
I’d take a bullet for you
I’d take a bullet for you, baby
That’s the way to heal
Oh, yes, that is the way
Today and every day
That is the only way to heal

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

I’D TAKE A BULLET FOR YOU
