A Life For You

A sacrifice of life encourages a girl to prosper.

You came to me in my time of need
But for you it was just another good deed
I was in my depression filled with dread
And you saved my life; without you I'd be dead.

Sitting on the streets, openly abused
I was left there, helpless, despicably used
They all glared at me like I was nothing but dirt
Something they would have to wash out of their shirt

When the thugs came to get me, you happened to pass by
When they began to beat me and I tried not to cry
You jumped in and helped me, no concern for you life
But when the thugs left in your back was a knife

You bled to death on that fateful night
I held you in my arms until dawn's first light
Then I continued with purpose, with rife
So to you my great saviour, I dedicate my life
