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....
