[Verse 1]
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

[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
Come dry me off 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
And keep my head above water, above water
Don`t let me, don`t let me, don`t let me drown

[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 the ocean like this forever
And I can`t breathe

[Chorus]
God, keep my head above water
I lose my breath at the bottom
Come rescue me, I`ll be waitin`
I`m too young to fall asleep
So, 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 drown)
Don`t let me drown
And keep my head above water, above water
(Don`t let me, don`t let me drown)
