好听英文歌：For You —— Keith Urban

For You

Keith Urban¹

All I saw² was³ smoke and fire; I didn't feel a thing,
but suddenly⁴ I was rising⁵ higher.
And I felt like I'd just made⁶ the biggest mistake⁷
when I though⁸ about my unborn child;

when I thought⁹ about my wife¹⁰.
And the answer rang out clear¹¹
from somewhere¹² up above:
No greater gift has man, but to lay¹³ down his life¹⁵ for love.

And I wonder¹⁶, would¹⁷ I give my life?
Could¹⁸ I make that sacrifice¹⁹?
If it came²⁰ down to it, could I take the bullet²¹, I would.
Yes I would for you.
Maybe you don't understand
I don't understand it all myself²².
But there's a brother on my left and another on my right.
And in his pocket²³ just like mine, he's got²⁴ a photograph²⁵.
And they're waiting for him back home.
And it's weighing²⁶ on my mind²⁷.
I'm not trying to be a hero²⁸;
I don't wanna die²⁹.
But right now in this moment, you don't think twice³⁰.
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 defend³¹ your own¹⁴.
And I'd do the same for you -
Yes I would.
I would give my life.
I would make that sacrifice.
'Cause³² if it came down to it, could I take the bullet, I would.
Yes I would do it for you.
I'd do it for you.
