How I Want to Die

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 him
 There'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 her
 I'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 Rye
 Bullet from a gun
 Knife wound in my chest
 That's how I want to die
 Just like a Catcher in the Rye
 Don'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 Grace
 There are kids who suffer everywhere
 I want to save them
 From the wounds that they can hardly bear
 I want to save them
 There'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 them
 I'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 Rye
 Bullet from a gun
 Knife wound in my chest
 That's how I want to die
 Just like a Catcher in the Rye
 How I want to die
