There I want to save him From the gun that I want to save him There I want to save her From the knife pressed hard against her throat I want to save her I A knife wound in my chest That Just like a Catcher in the Rye Bullet from a gun Knife wound in my chest That Just like a Catcher in the Rye Don Feeling my body in decay When my time comes Let me go protecting God 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 I want to save them From the angry man he could have been I want to save them I A knife wound in my chest That Just like a Catcher in the Rye Bullet from a gun Knife wound in my chest That Just like a Catcher in the Rye
