Must bar the windows and the doors

To keep me safe, to keep me warm
才能夠保全自己,讓我自己暖和
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
我的生命是經過不斷的搏鬥得來的
Can’t part the sea, can't reach the shore
我無法將海水與我分離,連海岸的邊際也摸不著
And my voice becomes the driving force
我的聲音成了我前進的原動力
I won't let this pull me overboard
我永遠不會被苦難擊倒

God, keep my head above water

Don't let me drown, drown, drown
所以請別讓我沉沒於水中
Don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me drown
不要讓我絕望地在汪洋之中掙扎

So pull me up from down below
請祢將我從水底拉起
’Cause I'm underneath the undertow

Come dry me off and hold me close

Don't let me, don’t let me, 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)
別讓我在水中載浮載沉,使我難以呼吸(讓我的頭浮出水面,讓我得以活下去)

And I can't see in the stormy weather

I can't seem to keep it all together
我似乎再也無法維持自己的理智
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
我無法永遠像現在一樣在水中為自己的生命奮鬥
And I can't breathe
因為我現在已經無法呼吸

God, keep my head above water
神啊,請祢讓我的頭浮出水面
I lose my breath at the bottom
我在水底已經逐漸失去了氣息
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
拜託祢快來拯救我,我一定會耐心地等候祢的到來
I'm too young to fall asleep
