Head Above Water
Avril Lavigne
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
I don't want less, I don't want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard
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
Don't let me, don't let me, don't 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
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Keep my head above water, above water
And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, 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
Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown)
Keep my head above water, above water
Kailangan pa nyang tuparin ang pangako nila ni Deanns na magandang kinabukasan para sa mga batang kagaya ni Leni.
Kailangan pa nyang tuparin ang pangarap nila para sa kanilang pamilya. . .
Para sa mga Katribu. . .
Para sa Komunidad. . .
At hindi mangyayari iyon kung pareho na silang tuluyang mawawala.
Kinarga nya at pinupog ng halik ang inaanak habang umiiyak ay tinanong ito.
"B-bakit mag-isa ka, sino kasama mo pagpunta dito?"
"Giliw na Ninang Icay" bigay to Nana Deanns habang iniaabot ang bulaklak kay Jema.
Ako din naman Leni, miss na miss na din kita, pasensya ka na sa Ninang ha, madami kasi akong inasikaso kaya hindi na ako naka balik doon sainyo sa tribuhan." At naupo sya sa damuhan habang kalong si Leni.
"Saka Baby, hindi na natin maibibigay kay Nana Deanns yang sunflower, kasi iniwan na nya tayo." Pinipilit nyang pigilan na pumatak ang mga luha pero hindi nya ito nagawa.
Nakangiting hinalikan sya ng bata sabay na pinahid ang kanyang mga luha.
"Stop crying na, papangit ka hala!"
Nagulat sya sa sinabi ng bata, hala talaga sino ba nagturo sayo nyan?kaya napangiti na lang sya.
Maya maya pa ay dumating ang mga kababaihang kaibigan nyang katribu, sina Nancy at Vilma. Sa simula ay ito na ang kanyang mga pinakahahangaan pagdating sa tapang at tatag sa pagharap sa mga hamon ng buhay bilang isang babae na naiwang mag-isa para balikatin ang mga responsibilidad habang nangungulila sa pinakamamahal na kabiyak.
