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
