Lyrics: [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 [Verse 2] 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 3] 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 Don 't let me, don' t let me, don 't let me drown (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 the ocean like this forever And I can 't breathe [Refrain] 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 [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 [Outro] 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) 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
