  • Well, all I saw was smoke and fire
    I didn't feel a thing
    But suddenly I was rising higher
    And I felt like I just made
    The biggest mistake
    When I thought about my unborn child
    When I thought about my wife
    And the answer rang out clear
    From somewhere up above
    No greater gift has man
    Than to lay down his life for love

    And I wonder, would I give my life
    Could I make that sacrifice (sacrifice)
    If it came down to it could I take the bullet, I would
    Yes, I would, for you, mm-mm

    And maybe you don't understand
    I don't understand it all myself
    But there's a brother on my left and another on my right
    And in his pocket just like mine
    He's got a photograph
    And they're waiting for him back home
    And it's weighing on my mind
    I'm not trying to be a hero
    I don't wanna die
    But right now in this moment
    You don't think twice

    I wonder, would I give my life
    Could I make that sacrifice (sacrifice)
    If it came down to it could I take the bullet, I would
    Yes, I would

    You don't think about right (oh-oh oh)
    You don't think about wrong (oh-oh oh)
    You just do what you gotta do
    To defend your own (oh-oh oh)
    And I'd do the same (oh-oh oh), for you
    Yes, I would

    Oh
    Yes, I would

    And I would give my life
    I would make that sacrifice
    'Cause if it came down to it could I take the bullet, I would
    Yes, I would

    I'd do it for you (oh-oh oh-oh)
    I'd do it for you (oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh)
    Take the bullet (oh-oh), yeah (oh-oh)
    Yes, I would (oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh)
