[VERSE 1:]
I 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 a driving force
I won't let this pulled me overboard
[Chorus:]
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
[VERSE 2:]
So pull me up
From down below
Cause I'm underneath
The undertow
And drive me up
And hold me close
I need you now, i need you most
[Chorus:]
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
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me, drown
And keep my head above water
Above water
[Bridge:]
And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim in the ocean
Like this forever
And I can't breathe
God keep my head above water
I lose my breathe at the bottom
Come rescue me
I'll be waiting
I'm too young to fall asleep
[Chorus:]
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 drown
(don't let me, don't let me , drown)
Don't let me drown
(drown, drown)
(Don't let me, don't let me, drown)
And keep my head above water
Above water
