- Cassie - Acoustic Version with Lyrics by Flyleaf
Cassie Bernall did not survive the Columbine mass shooting because of her belief in God. Stand up for your belief in Him despite the risks. Be inspired by her story.

I like this version better than the origional tbh
quinn spaulding agreed
quinn spaulding always felt the same. Way more powerful too
Agreed and still listening in 2020. In the age of Covid-19, don’t be shocked that people die, be surprised you’re still alive.
I like both but yeah this one is really good
I like this one better but the other version I would listen to as well
"Don't be shocked that people die, be surprised you're still alive." I don't know Flyleaf's faith, but by God's mercy, we are still alive. This song is so powerful.
it’s a christian band, Lacy Sturm was going to off herself till a friend took her to church and she got saved and that’s why she’s still here :)
I'm not a religious man but I have respect for God.
R.I.P to all the victims of Columbine. Gone too soon
This song is gives me that warm feeling because it's so powerful. My favourite part is when she sings. Don't be shocked that people die. Be surprised you're still alive. So true, It actually makes me feel quite vulnerable, but at the same time happy that i'm still alive.
King Martial omgosh sameee
The original version to me would represent I bet the anger the families must have felt/still feel to this day. While this song feels more like… when you move on from the initial anger and are now finally into the stage where you just wanna fall down and cry about what was taken far too soon. The original also focused more on what she may or may not have been asked (cause I know there was controversy on that part. At least for the song anyway). This one while it touches on that, it feels much more like a proper goodbye and a message.
The acoustic version of this song gives me goosebumps
This song is so good. The story behind it is terrible, I get that. But this is one of the songs that actually means something meaningful, and not some of the things sung about today.
If you listen to the lyrics closely, then you'll understand what the song is about.
Very few songs make me cry... this is one of them.
How could anyone dislike this?:( Really makes me wonder. She inspires me so much. R.I.P Cassie Your family and friends are in my prayers. Say hi to Jesus for me.
Cassie is such an inspiration for all of the Christians out there. they asked her "do you believe in God?" she said "yes" she could have easily denounced Christ and lived but she gave her life up for the Lord. gah, it just blows my mind
Cassie had faith, not everyone has faith as strong as hers!
I just got “don’t be shocked that people die, be surprised you’re still alive” tattooed on me cuz of this song. True story
I looked in lacies eyes at a signing once and saw such kindness and understanding. Like she saw my pain and told me to keep fighting. We need more artists like this.
Met the rest of the band, but she skipped the signing. Something was bothering her during the concert and she was showing it. I still remember that feeling and how I just wondered what was wrong.
R.I.P Cassie Bernall and Rachel Scott
I don't believe in God, but I love this song. Also. Cassie Bernall was not the only person asked if she believed in god. She did not die because of her beliefs. There were multiple people asked if they believed in god, and DESPITE whether they said yes or no, they were still killed. It didn't matter. Cassie's highly religious, god-fearing mother used her own daughter's death to get publicity. It makes me sick. I think it's good to stand up for what you believe in, but Cassie shouldn't be individualized and thought of as better or more special than any of the other victims of columbine.
On another note. I really really love this song, it's really powerful. It's just-- it's not as cut and dry as what the public makes it sound like.
It was revealed by the people hiding under the same table as Cassie that she didn't exchange any words with the attacker.
Serendipity Yeah, he actually said "Peek-a-boo" Right?
Maniae Mania no. She was NOT asked if she believed in God. Every student and witness backs that fact up. They randomly killed and did not single out Christians OR jocks. The people killed in THE LIBRARY weren't even really known by the shooters. The Christianity claim had been debunked for several years now.
The world was supposed to end yesterday. People are so scared of dying themselves, but Cassie stood up for what she believed in even when she knew it would cause her death. Like the song says, "Don't be shocked that people die, be surprised your still alive"
This song has allot of power. Its sad that people could take innocent peoples lifes and not care. This song is amazing because a girl died because she loved God so much. To live is Christ and to die is gain
Same here. I am a Wiccan and I still love this song for the message it gives. People always ask me why I worship Satan, but that's not my religion is about. They are misguided, but either way. This is a good song because it can show people to always stand for what they believe in, not just to believe in Christ.
I love the part: they didn't like their lives too much. That was one of the last things Dylan wrote in a letter to his mom the day him and Eric commited the shooting. ''I didn't like life too much, and I know I'll be happy wherever the f**k I go''
There were no letters. There were the Basement Tapes.
and their journals
I was 19 when this shooting happen. I'm 41 now and I still remember exactly where I was and how I found out. Over 20 years later, I didn't know anyone involved or even in that state, but thinking about it still fills me with emotion and brings me to tears.
I'm an Agnostic/Atheist, but I believe that Cassie was very brave for taking a stand for what she believed in, even if it caused her death. People should do what she does and stand up for what you believe in, no matter what happens afterwards.
I'm writing a story called into the underworld on Deviant art.. This song imspired me to write the depressing prologue.. now to write chapter 1..
Link please I would love to give it a read
RIP to all those who passed from O.D. in flushing NY from 2016-2017 , I'm so sorry you couldn't find your way out 😢😢😢
I like this version a lot
There times where you have to stop and look at everything you have, and not with disgust, regret, hate, or ignorance, but with content and happiness, because you never know what you have until its gone and those that you love are more important than we know. This is more a comment for me than anyone else to never forget whats important in my life and that at the end of my journey to come back to this realization and never change so that I can face my loved ones and achieve true happiness
So hauntingly beautiful.....much love to you Lacey!
R.I.P Cassie u will be missed
Wow I wrote this five years ago, damn lol
Cassie has taught me something. So now, even if im the last person on earth to believe...i will. I wont do what others do. If im the last person to believe in god, then i will. Even if the world turned against me, i will believe in god.
im gladd u posted dis on here cuz i dnt tink any1 else did and i was lookin 4 it 2 sing 2!!! THANK UUU
"Perfect love kills all fear." XD love it
agreed, regardless of the belief or disbelief in god, the idea that she stood up for what she truly believed even while threaten by death puts me in awe
Such a beautiful song. I haven't listened to it in years. Lacey did this song perfectly.
this is one of my favorite songs ever....its full of meaning and love... rip to all that were killed for thier belief in god
This song is beautiful.
i had heard this songs original version, i liked it, the acoustic version had more passion,now i know the lyrics, i couldnt hold the tears in... columbine was sick
i love this song accoustic better cuz it seems like it have more meaning than the other version..
i love this song
i could NEVER get tired of it.
:)))))
Amazing song whether original or accoustic
On one hand I am reminded that this story was twisted by radical Christian rhetoric of an actual exchange between a survivor of the columbine shooting and the attackers (Cassie was a victim but not the one involved in this exchange)
And on the other hand I am in love with this otherwise beautifully tragic song (it's even possible Flyleaf just didn't know the story wasnt entirely true and made this song in earnest).
This song has to be the most tragic and sad song I’ve ever heard.
Everybody this song has a meaning and it shows believe show you believe no matter what happens.
(The song is about a very sad shooting at a school)
i want a "haunting" for the reactions. there are just not enough choices.
Awesome.1 dislike wow whoever did that didn't love their lives ..
i love this acoustic version, i feel it a lot more, im very sorry for the deaths of all of the columbine victims
that awkward moment when the acoustic version of a song is 10 times better than the original
This song was in a fan fiction I read, so I'm excited to see what this sounds like
I lost a great friend today and just had to hear this song for some reason...thank you for this :"v
Love, love, love this version. Addicted to it like a drug! :3 Posted it on Facebook, (and I never post anything on there) I love it so much.
So mad they took this off spotify
@Magister militum no do you ?
The story behind this song is the Columbine high school shooting in 1999. The guy who was shooting asked Rachel and Cassie if they believed in god. They said yes knowing what would happen.
Lacey voice it’s out of this world wow
In school we are talking about the girl Rachel (The girl who died for her belief in god) Everytime the teacher explained it me and my friend sam would think of this song ;( :)
i love this:) on another note.... why is there a dislike button if the people who use it are gonna be put down for it... o.O
I like this song..
Such a vibe
The people with Cassie said she was praying and didn't talk to the killer, and her sister wrote the song. I feel it may not be literal. You have to look deeper into the lyrics.
Savannah Bennett They're not really blood sisters, but sisters in Christ. Christians say that everyone is a child of Christ, so men in the faith are called brothers in Christ and girls are called sisters in Christ by other Christians
i
SO sad, it reminded me of when my grandpa and my dog Murphy died =..(
:0 I used to love this song as a kid; I never knew the meaning behind it with this version is so pretty
I do not believe in god. But the story of Cassie Bernall is amazing. I stand up for my rights. I'm proud of her. Being Atheist is hard in school. I get teased for it. Everyone asks me if i believe in god, and when i say i dont, they ask if i am a devil worshiper. Atheism means you dont believe in god OR the devil. and someone threatened to beat me up for my religion. FTW. people are sick.
This is AWE-FULL
and no, i don;t mean Awful, i mean it is full of awe, and i am reduced to silence whenever i hear this. Amazing,
Damn now I'm crying....
geese I feel like crying. Beautiful version of da song =) thx 4 da vid!!
sisters because we are children of God
Unfortunately, the whole story about Cassie and standing up for what she believed in isn't completely honest. During the shooting, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold asked many kids if they believed in God. And whether they said yes or no didn't determine if they got shot or not. Cassie wasn't even one of those multiple people asked, it was actually her friend Valarie, who lived. Cassie's mom took it though, and played it to make her daughter famous and make her look like the child of God. :/
Maniae Mania actually you need to look deeper what happened was she said yes and got shot in the head her sister had a journel and she wrote about it she was a witness to her sisters death
@@jessieslife287 Cassie didn't have sister, she only had one brother named Chris. She didn't say yes, all the students who could see her said she wasn't asked anything and 2 boys who couldn't see her mistook Valeen's voice for Cassie's.
I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO totaly agree wit u
i think the accoustic version is actually wayy better(:
This is song is about a girl named Cassie who got killed in a school shooting from Columbine High School in Colorado. There were 2 gunmen and they asked her whether she believed in God or not and she said yes so they shot her.
Since agnostic theists/atheists tend to emphasis the 'it's impossible to really have knowledge/know for sure' part, agnostics sometimes abbreviate anyway because in the end the theist/atheist part is kind of a moot point. Like, an "I'd like to think but can't back it up." Tentative/kind-of Christians are usually agnostic theists but see the term agnostic as being related to atheism, which it really isn't. Agnostic atheists tend to just say that they're atheists, as do gnostic ones.
My name is Cassie and this is my favorite song.
@GleeLoverCovers no its about how a shooting in 1999 i think at a high school and the massacers asked cassie if she belived in god and she said yes and shot her her. read the book She Said Yes by Misty Bernall its the story about this song the book is amazing
even though i am 100% atheist, i love this band, and this song
woah, its like a completely different song:0
Blessed be lacy
this song makes me cry
It is Cassie, it's the Demo version of the song, before the studio version came out.
Awesome.
chills
i luv this song n the story bhind it some ppl mite not bleve but @ leas cassie was brave enuf 2 stand ^ 4 wat she blevd in
She had something real to believe in!
Actually it was a girl that was with Cassie that was actually shot. For awhile though they didn't know for sure who it was, but after watching Eric and Dylan's videos and getting witnesses answers is when they found out it wasn't Cassie that had that conversation with them.
Everyone always seems to forget about rachel scott she was there too and she was the one to originally stand up to the shooters cassie wasn't as inncoent as people make her out to be she didnt deserve death but no one really does
Rachel Scott is actually deaf.
I wrote "Dont be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive." on a white board in school and I showed to my teacher and she said "That's disturbing..."
-__-
Beautiful song!
I don't know if the story is true due to the pervious comments but this song is a very beautiful song.
i would definitly say yes id b scared to but just imagine if u were her and u were standing there with a gun facing u what would u do? and she was brave enough to say yes just think of what was going through her mind !
@slashBVB maybe no question was asked her life was taken too fast but witness said it happened for Rachel Scott she was asked and said "You know i do"
Oh my gosh, just saying that even though I'm a Christian, it's cool to see a nonChristian complement her. Half the atheists at my school bash her. Just saying it's cool to see someone not a hero just because of a difference in religion.
I love this version
Has anyone figured out that this song is about the Columbine shootings in 93' i think it was.. it took me listening to this one to figure it out....
i just found out the meaning to this song and this is the only verison i love song this song for my cousin who was shot.at 14 years old that was 5 years ago. truely i feel for the family and i know its hard for them.
i think this song should of been called rachael because she was asked if she believed in god and told him You know i do right before she was shot as far as cassie there is mixed reports of her being asked or not some say she was asked other people said she wasnt asked but we know rachael was asked before being shot most reports is erick harris saying peek a boo before shooting her it isnt 100 percent of being asked rachael was 100 percent asked
+chazeverett Yes but it doesn't say that they asked it, it says '"Do you believe In god?" written on the bullet' its used in a metaphoric way.
the question asked in order to save her life or take it lol ya it says they asked it
chazeverett She was taking everyone being asked that in general, and Cassie was her sister as well. That's why she called it Cassie
+Broken Angel only 2 people were asked if they believed in god it is questionable that cassie was asked it before she died we just know that when she w as hiding under the table alot of students said she wasnt even asked if she believed in god most the students said while cassie was hiding under the table eric harris looked under the table said peek a boo before shooting her it was someone else who was asked not cassie we know rachael was asked they hated rachael because thats all they thought she talked about was god she was asked do u believe in god and she replied u know i do then was shot
+chazeverett only real person who said she was shot was her mom in a book she wrote
I lovee this.!
The story of Cassie Bernall is completely different. People around her never heard the gunman asked if she believed in God. She never said anything before she was killed according to those around her. It's sad that she died. I love this song, it's gorgeous. But it seems a little cruel to me to twist the facts of a girl's unfortunate death for music. Before people write their music, they need to keep the facts straight in respect for the deceased. If they don't, they spin of Web of lies that don't honor the dead. Instead, they create an ever lasting mockery for then spun off of the deceased's beliefs. The song is very good, don't get me wrong, but it would have been better to tell Cassie Bernall's story through the truth rather than skewed facts.
+Zoë Janisse rachael scott was asked if she believed in god and answered u know i do then was shot there is mixed stories on if cassie was asked some say he asked other stories said she wasnt but cassie was hiding in the library and eric harris pounded on the top of the table then ducked down looking at her said peek a boo then some reports said he asked her if she believed in god but some reports said he shot her after fter saying peek a boo so we dont know if he asked her but rachael scott was deff asked if she believed in god
+chazeverett It is said that Val was the one that was asked if she believed in God, but instead "Cassie was the one that responded" but they say she was praying and simply got shot in the head with the shotgun.
+Zoë Janisse Valeen Schnurr was asked if she believed in god and answered Dylan yes and was killed by his hand because he tought god was gay. Cassie was killed by Eric who kneeled down beside her and said ''peek a booh'' to he before he shot her. Her friend Emily Wyant saw it all and survived the killing spree
It's not proven. Whether or not she was asked if she believed in good. And they didn't twist the lyrics either. You can search the name Cassie Bernall and it is stated that it was her friend but the parents said that she stood up for her Faith. Not the investigators. But as the Bernalls said they asked four witnesses.
I love this verson
@nikyan1231 Rachel Scott was shot three times. Once in the leg, then when she got up to run they shot her through the chest. They asked her if she believed in God and she said yes.
It sucks that Cassie's story isn't real.
@AngieKitteh soooooooooooooooo true
It was Verlann Schurn that was asked the question. Not cassie
I love this version of this song but it's so hard to find on my music apps
she was a true martyr of God.
