An unassuming spirit living
each day the same as yesterday’s
Nothing ever threatened you
Until… today
You didn’t want to see it happen
And you didn’t like to hear the cries
Revolution happening and you said
No bloody good byes
No bloody good byes
Today nobody dies
You saved me, you saved me tonight
You couldn’t bear to see me die
You laid your body over mine
Because you didn’t want to see me die
Did anyone ever tell you
Not to talk to strangers
or did you miss that one
Did anyone ever warn you
Just to stay away away
Heart larger than logic
bet you never knew you were a hero
But you surprised yourself by
not letting me go
not letting me go
You saved me, you saved me tonight
You couldn’t bear to see me die
You laid your body over mine
Because you didn’t want to see me die
Did anyone ever tell you
Not to talk to strangers
Did anyone ever warn you
Just to stay away away
You laid your body over mine
Because you didn’t want to see me die
