Cassie Lyrics

The question asked in order
To save her life or take it
The answer "No" to avoid death
The answer "Yes" would make it
Make it

"Do you believe in God?"
Written on the bullet
Say "Yes" to pull the trigger
"Do you believe in God?"
Written...

    You know, everyone is saying like the same thing. I mean so many people have established that it is about cassie and rachel. why do 500 people need to say that?

    I think everyone is right but she's also saying she's a christian because at the end she says and I would pull the trigger

    I do agree that killing is bad but yes the shooters are dead and no one really knows what was going on in their heads they might have had some problems so what feel bad for the shooters just think " that's ashame" and feel bad for the victums but especially feel bad for the parents
    how do you think they feel knowing there kids were killers or the other parents knowing their kids are dead its really a sad thing

    I think its clear it's about cassie and the school shoting but the thing that sucks is that she is not able to see the impact she had across the world and how much she is being congradulated for sticking up for what she believes.

    "Cassie" is about Cassie Bernall and Rachel Scott, two Christian girls who were shot in the Colombine High School shooting in 1999. They were shot and killed because of their belief in God. I think it's a pretty loud statement to so willingly die for what you believe in. (There was also a really cool book called Rachel's Tears about Rachel Scott) This song is about standing up for your faith, even when it may mean persecution, or even death.

    Alright, what happened was that Cassie was allegedly asked if she believed in God, and when she said yes, she was shot. She was one of twelve students and a teacher, according to her website. Another girl, Rachel, was asked the same question, and when she didn't die, they asked her again, she repiled yes again, and they shot her again, and she died. The shooters also died. I heard they killed themselves.

    I love this song. It's about Cassie Bernell who died (along with Rachel Scott and 12 others)it's beautiful. It's not only a verbal contribution to the faith and believers everywhere but also to God and those whom aren't afraid to say 'Yes I believe in God' and die in the name of faith and the everlasting glory of our maker. I for one could not ever imagine the courage it must've taken to do what Cassie and Rachel did, and I honor them. But in no way am I afraid to stand up and say;

    YES I BELIEVE IN GOD!

    :)

    This song is about the girl who said 'yes' at the Columbine shooting that she believed in God. Not to burst anyone's bubble, but that actually didn't happen. Her friend was the only one that heard her say that. Others around her have no memory of that. If it had happened...wouldn't that have been something more that one person would have remembered?

    Why would we have respect for the Dylan and Eric? Ya they died too, because they shot themselves after killing 13 others! I am currently attending Columbine, and Cassie was my dads friends niece, and Isaiah was my neighbor. It hurts when people say don't blame Dylan and Eric. Why would you not? They were bullied, ok I get it, but what excuse is that to freaking kill innocent people?! And what caused the God question asked to Cassie, were they bullied by God? No. And if you say don't blame Eric and Dylan, blame the ones that bullied them..then your a hyprocrite. You all know you have said or done something rude to someone in your life, so if you were in that position, and you said one rude thing to someone who then shot up the school, well its apparently your fault right? That's basically what you are saying.

    Well, as for Daxxiness,
    unfortunetly, he used a wikipedia entry which in my opinion disqualifies his source because anyone can submit something onto Wikipedia,

    While we can not get a straight answer as to who said yes in the columbine and who said it firmly because there are so many different stories as to what happened, we can be certain that this song was written in memory of the Columbine and that simply put the song is about standing up for what you believe.

    As 99% percent of what others have stated, "Cassie" relates to the Columbine High shooting and a girl who was shot for saying she believed in God. I don't know all the details about the incident, but the lines "The question asked in order to save her life or take it / The answer no to avoid death, the answer yes would make it" are so obviously saying that.

    Yes it is about Cassie, and well there are also 4 witnesses to seeing her get shot, & It was because she said yes. Please do read the book, and documentaries. Very Very. good. Its called ' She said Yes ', So think about it. Tis very sad what she went through though. And I also really doubt that her mother would put false thing in a non-fiction book. She could get in jumbo trouble.

    This song is not only about Cassie Bernall but just about believers in general. Its like are we going to step up to the plate and proclaim our love in God? Or are we just going to sit back and be closet believers? Cassie was willing to proclaim it. And for that she has a special place in heaven.

    Cassie and Rachel were not asked "Do you believe in god?"
    Rachel was killed outright and the last words Cassie heard was "Peek-a-Boo" then one of the shooters, Dylan I think, shot her under a table in the library.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    Ok well for starters that statement from the guy above, beavisface, I think it is, is ridiculous. "Have respect for the killers and don't dog them" are you nuts? these assholes had problems like EVERY OTHER PERSON in the world but the only difference is they were big girls about their problems and thought shooting peoples faces off was the answer. I have absolutely NOOOO respect and NO sympathy for them. If I ever saw their grave I'd piss and spit on it! oh yeah the songs about Cassie, who cares if she was asked the question or not, none of us were there so we'll never actually know. So stop acting like you do!
