There Was A Man

I knew this day would surely come

Now it's too late to save me

I've got my gun, the TV's on

My life is done, there's nothin' left

I'm runnin' for cover before they discover

One last shot, that's all I got

I did it all for glory

And when you say you knew my name

Just tell them everything about me

There was a man

The story goes he had a plan

Gave up his life just to save me

And when he died, he knew our love would not survive

Longer than the promise that he made

I spoke some words that you all heard

I never meant to scare you

You were the slave I tried to save

My journey was so complicated

It was so frightening, this war I was fighting

Win or lose, I had to choose

It was my darkest hour

A fiery flame, it saved my soul

And raised me up to a higher power

There was a man

The story goes he had a plan

Gave up his life just to save me

And when he died, he knew our love would not survive

Longer than the promise that he made

One last shot, that's all I got

I did it all for glory

And when you say you knew my name

Just tell them everything about me

There was a man

The story goes he had a plan

Gave up his life just to save me

And when he died, he knew our love would not survive

Longer than the promise that he made

The promise that he made
