Who Saved Who

She stood on a raged cliff
High above the ocean
Looked up at the heavens
And cursed God and cried
How could anyone
Live through such emotion
She leaned over the edge 
To throw away her life

She cast her eyes down on 
The glistening grave
Thought she saw a child
Struggling for the shore
And then a still small voice said
You can save
She ran down the trail
Asking what am doing this for

Jenni you saved him or did he save you
Or did someone send him to you
Jenni you saved him or did he save you 
Who saved who

She dragged him to the sand
He lay without motion
He rubbed his face and hands
And begged for his life
Then he started to move
And his eyes opened
How could one so hurt 
Feel so high

Jenni you saved him or did he save you
Or did someone send him to you
Jenni you saved him or did he save you
Who saved who

The sirens faded
And she climbed above the ocean
She looked down
And slowly backed away
She smiled and whispered 
Oh, I must be good for something
Then she turned her back 
And walked away

Jenni you saved him or did he save you
Or did someone send him to you
Jenni you saved him or did he save you
Who saved who
