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 If it came down to it could I take the bullet, I would Yes I would, for you 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 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 If it came down to it could I take the bullet, I would Yes I would You don’t think about right You don’t think about wrong You just do what you gotta do To defend your own I’d do the same, for you Yes I would I would give my life I would make that sacrifice 'Cause if it came down to it could I take a bullet, I would Yes I would I’d do it for you I’d do it for you Take a bullet, for you Yes I would
