He´s halfing his sandwich, his chips and Baby Ruth
Putting them back in a sack his mama packed
With a sticker that say´s Jesus Loves You

He´s jumping off the bus, running in the house
Talking to mom about his day
Hiding that paper sack in a baseball glove
Riding his bike straight to the freeway
Where there´s an old man with a shopping cart
With a dirty face and a purple heart
Who´s saying son you´ll never know how much this means

Boy say´s
Wouldn´t you do this for me
If I were reaching out to you
Wouldn´t you give me food to eat if I were hungry to
Wouldn´t you do this for me

Tonight, that little boy´s dad is flying down the freeway
It´s pouring rain as he leaves the road
He´s rolling down that concrete bank
Through the flames and the broken glass
An old man takes his hand
Finds a cell phone on the backseat
He´s saying get here fast as you can
Now the bum that lives beneath the bridge
Pulls him safely from that flooding ditch
Man asked why´d you risk your life to save mine

He said
Wouldn´t you do this for me
If I were reaching out to you
Wouldn´t you try to save my life, if I needed you to
Wouldn´t you do this for me

Now he´s laying in that hospital bed praying a silent prayer
And he can´t help but ask him
Lord, did you put that beggar there
As a nurse pulls back the curtains
All he can see is a billboard sign
A sixty foot Jesus hanging´ on the cross
At the bottom, just one line

Wouldn´t you do this for me
Wouldn´t you do this for me
Wouldn´t you
