Lyrics for Cassie (Acoustic) as interpreted by Fallen1617

Cassie (Acoustic) Lyrics
The question asked in order
"To save her life or take it"?
The answer no avoid the death
And yes would make it

Do you believe in God?
Written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
And my sister Cassie pulled it

They didn't love their lives so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive

All heads are bowed in silence, reverence
The floor is wet with tears of sorrow for remembrance
The alters filled with hearts of repentances
Perfect love kills all fear
Rejoice in this deliverance

They didn't love their lives so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive

This is an absolutely gorgeous song. It's one of the few songs where I like the acoustic more than the original... and the lyrics are amazing.

this is an amazing song about a girl named cassie who was shot during the columbine shooting. she was asked if she believed in god and she said yes even though she knew it would cost her, her life. I'm sure when Lacey wrote this song she wanted people to listen to this and be happy they are alive and not take their lives for granted like some have.

This is my favorite Song right now, I just recently bought the cd/dvd with the bonus acustic tracks and I just can't stop listening, or thinking about this song because of how powerful it really is. "Don't be shocked that people die, Be surprised your still alive." Amazing.

God is worth dying for because he died for us before we even knew him.

I love this song also. Amazing lyrics!

"Don't be shocked that people die, be surprised you're still alive"

By the way... I can't help it here...

"God is worth dying for because he died for us before we even knew him."

No he didn't... I'm pretty sure the Bible states it was in fact Jesus who died for us... God never died. Sheesh... I don't even follow Christianity and I know that... I don't follow any religion come to think of it...

As for the part about who Cassie was. The event that this song is supposed to be about never took place during the columbine shootings.

Very goos Song, My favorite ssong of the 2 Cassie's.
I Like the Acoustic better, hence, this one.
This 1 i think means about how, the guys who killed the 12 students and 1 teacher.
"They didn't love their lives so much
As to shrink from death
Inspired in their footsteps
We will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive"

Lassie is trying to say, that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold didn't love theire lives
so they went on a killing spree, and then commeted sucide. So Inspired by the victims, and ,yes, the
killers, we will learn from their mistakes. We shouldnt be suprised that people are dying, but that
there is so much of killing going on, we should be suprised that we are still alived.

Cassie Bernall did die in the columbine shootings--but she was not asked if she believed in God... another girl was, and she was not shot. However a few people in the library mistook Cassie for Valeen Schnurr, the other girl; even though when asked later by investigators where she was sitting they pointed to where Schnurr was located.
