There's a boy who's crying in sheer dread
I want to save him
From the gun that's pointed gainst his head
I want to save himThere's a girl who's shivering in the cold
I want to save her
From the knife pressed hard against her throat
I want to save herI'll take a bullet from a gun
A knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the RyeBullet from a gun
Knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the RyeDon't want to wither away
Feeling my body in decay
When my time comes
Let me go protecting God's little ones
Let me go quickly in Glory and GraceThere are kids who suffer everywhere
I want to save them
From the wounds that they can hardly bear
I want to save themThere's a boy who's crying in his sleep
I want to save them
From the angry man he could have been
I want to save themI'll take a bullet from a gun
A knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the RyeBullet from a gun
Knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the RyeHow I want to die
