Here for You
Keith Lyrics

Well, all I saw was smoke and fire
I'm describing a chaotic scene with smoke and fire, but I didn't feel anything because I was in shock.

And suddenly I was rising higher
Despite the confusion and chaos, I felt like I was transcending the situation and ascending above it all.

And I felt like I just made the biggest mistake
In that moment, I felt like I had messed up by getting into that situation.

When I thought about my unborn child
My thoughts immediately went to my loved ones who I was potentially leaving behind, like my unborn child.

When I thought about my wife
I also thought about my wife and how she would react if I didn't make it out alive.

And the answer rang out clear
From somewhere, a clear message came to me.

From somewhere up above
This message seemed to come from a divine source.

No greater gift has man
The message was that there is no greater act of love than laying down one's life.

Than to lay down his life for love
This is the ultimate sacrifice one can make for the people they love.

And I wonder, would I give my life
This experience made me question whether I would be capable of making the same sacrifice.

Could I make that sacrifice (sacrifice)
I'm not sure if I have the strength or courage to lay down my life.

If it came down to it could I take the bullet, I would
But if it really came down to it, I believe I would find the strength to make the ultimate sacrifice.

And maybe you don't understand
I know this might not make sense to everyone.

I don't understand it all myself
In fact, I'm still trying to make sense of it myself.

But there's a brother on my left and another on my right
In these situations, your fellow soldiers become like family.

And in his pocket just like mine
We all carry reminders of the people we love and the things we're fighting for.

He's got a photograph
In this case, it's a photograph of someone important to my fellow soldier.

And they're waiting for him back home
This photograph represents the people who are waiting for him back home.

It's weighing on my mind
All of these thoughts and questions are occupying my mind in the midst of the chaos and danger.

I'm not trying to be a hero
I'm not doing this to prove anything or be recognized as a hero.

I don't wanna die
Of course, I don't want to die, but sometimes you don't have a choice.

But right now in this moment
In this moment of danger and uncertainty, I'm not focused on anything except survival and protecting others.

You don't think twice
Sometimes you don't have the luxury of considering your options or hesitating - you just act on instinct.

You don't think about right (oh oh)
In these moments, morality and ethics aren't always at the top of your mind.

You don't think about wrong (oh oh)
Instead, you're just focused on doing whatever it takes to protect yourself and others.

You just do what you gotta do
You do what you have to do in order to survive and defend your comrades.

To defend your own (oh oh)
In these situations, your fellow soldiers become your own - your family, your brothers and sisters in arms.

I'd do the same, for you (oh oh)
I would put my life on the line to defend my fellow soldiers, just as they would do the same for me.

And I would give my life
Despite the fear and uncertainty, I know that I would be willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.

I would make that sacrifice
If it came down to it, I would lay down my life for the people and things I love.

'Cause if it came down to it could I take a bullet, I would
Even though it's a difficult thing to grapple with, I know that I have the strength and courage to make that choice if I need to.

I'd do it for you, yeah
In the end, it's all worth it if it means defending and protecting the people you love.

Take the bullet, yeah
If it came down to it, I would be willing to take the bullet and make the ultimate sacrifice for the people and things I hold most dear.

Yes, I would
Despite the fear and uncertainty, I know that I have the inner strength and courage to make that ultimate sacirifice.

Oh
The experience and insights into one's own bravery feels very personal and deep.
