Ive gotta keep the calm before the storm
I dont want less, I dont want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe, to keep me warm

Yeah, my life is what Im fighting for
Cant part the sea, cant reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I wont let this pull me overboard

God, keep my head above water
Dont let me drown
It gets harder
Ill meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees

Dont let me drown, drown, drown
(Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me drown)

So pull me up from down below
‘Cause I’m underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most

God, keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown
It gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees

Dont let me drown, drown, drown
(Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me drown)
Dont let me drown, drown, drown
Keep my head above water above water, above water
(Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me drown)

And I can’t see in the stormy weather
I can’t seem to keep it all together
And I can’t swim the ocean like this forever
And I can’t breathe

God, keep my head above water
I lose my breath at the bottom
Come rescue me, I’ll be waiting
I’m too young to fall asleep

God, keep my head above water
Don’t let me drown
It gets harder
I’ll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees

Don’t let me drown (drown, drown, drown)
Don’t let me drown (dont let me, dont let me, dont let me drown)
Don’t let me drown (drown, drown, drown)
Keep my head above water above water, above water
(Dont let me, dont let me, dont let me drown)
