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 put me over board
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) Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t 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 Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me drown Don’t let me drown
(And keep my head above water, above water) Don’t let me, don’t let me, don’t let me drown
