...in my boxers...

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

The waters rise,
and,
the waters fall.
I'm a man seeking peace.
You're the one who can
hold my hand,
hold my hand,
hold my hand.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

I don't know how to swim,
it's suicide every time I try.
You can teach me,
You can help me.
Be my strength,
be my ability.
I run to you
every time I want to drown.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

I lose my grip,
I'm getting weak.
Can't do it by myself.
Why do I try?
Call it pride.
Why won't someone help me?
Why do you help me?
The water's getting high.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

I'm losing my faith in myself,
falling on my knees
while running to you.
You won't let the waters overcome,
even when I jump in.
The black clouds are coming,
a storm is brewing,
the tide is rising.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

The storm is raging,
as I question myself,
question my existence.
I know
I need to run to you.
You are what can save me.
Doubt comes and goes,
but you always remain.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

I look around,
and all I see is water.
The waves are crashing,
as lighting fills my vision.
Hold me down,
I want to run.
You're right there,
here with me.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

The tears are coming,
uncertainty is reigning.
Hold me now,
come closer.
You are my salvation.
You are my salvation.
For all eternity,
Don't let me drown.

Don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.
