Verse:
     Rain, rain on my face
     Hasn't stopped raining for days
     My world is a flood
     Slowly I become one with the mud

Pre-Chorus:
     But if I can't swim after forty days
     And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
     Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
     Lift me, oh-oh

Chorus 1:
     Lift me up
     When I'm falling
     Lift me up
     I'm weak and I'm dying
     Lift me up
     I need you to hold me
     Lift me up
     And keep me from drowning again

Post-Chorus

Verse:
     Downpour on my shoulders
     Splashing in the ocean i'm losing control
     Dark sky all around me
     Can't feel my feet touching the ground

Pre-Chorus:
     But if I can't swim after forty days
     And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
     Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
     Lift me, oh-oh

Chorus 2:
     Lift me up
     When I'm falling
     Lift me up
     I'm weak and I'm dying
     Lift me up
     I need you to hold me
     Lift me up
     And keep me from drowning again

Strings Interlude:
     Calm the storms that drench my eyes
     And dry the streams still flowing
     Casting down in waves of sin
     And guilt that over flows me

Pre-Chorus:
     But if I can't swim after forty days
     And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
     Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
     Lift me, oh-oh

Chorus 1:
     Lift me up
     When I'm falling
     Lift me up
     I'm weak and I'm dying
     Lift me up
     I need you to hold me
     Lift me up
     And keep me from drowning again

Chorus 1:
     Lift me up
     When I'm falling
     Lift me up
     I'm weak and I'm dying
     Lift me up
     I need you to hold me
     Lift me up
     And keep me from drowning again
