Oh picture it a little girl just a beautiful eight year old
Trying to live through this life in a crazy world
Years past and one bad move
She finds herself as a teen and a life in ruins
What could have happened if we stopped and took the time
Show that girl she had meaning and a purpose to life
Maybe avoid the downward slide
Would tell her the truth? Or let her live in a lie?
It all just seems to change
When you see is as a life to save
So would you save a life, save a life?
If it was do or die
Would you save a soul, save a soul?
Even if it's not your own
If you're the hands and the arms that reach
Would you save a life from drowning?
Would you cry out if it was the moment of truth?
Would you reach out if there was something to lose?
Life or d**h would you take a deep breath
And dive in and save a life that needs to be rescued?
We'd prevent it if we just explained
About the tides and the undertows and deadly waves
We could save a life before it needs saved
Why wait for tomorrow when we can start today?
It all just seems to change
When you see is as a life to save
So would you save a life, save a life?
If it was do or die
Would you save a soul, save a soul?
Even if it's not your own
If you're the hands and the arms that reach
Would you save a life from drowning?
If she started drifting further,
would you take a minute to think about it?
If the waves came crashing forward,
would you take a minute think about it?
It all just seems to change
When you see is as a life to save
So would you save a life, save a life?
If it was do or die
Would you save a soul, save a soul?
Even if it's not your own
If you're the hands and the arms that reach
Would you save a life from drowning?
If she started drifting further
If the waves came crashing forward
