Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Rain, rain on my face

Hasn't stopped raining for days

My world is a flood

Slowly I become one with the mud

[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 up

[Chorus]

(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) Keep me from drowning again

[Verse 2]

Downpour on my soul

Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control

Dark sky all around

Can't feel my feet touching the ground

[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 up

[Chorus]

(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) Keep me from drowning again

[Bridge]

Calm the storms that drench my eyes

And dry the streams still flowing

Casting down all waves of sin

And guilt that overthrow me

[Chorus]

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 up

[Chorus]

(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) Keep me from drowning again

[Chorus]

(Lift me up) When I'm falling

(Lift me up, yeah, yeah) I'm weak and I'm dying

(Lift me up) I need you to hold me

(Lift me up, oh yeah, yeah) Keep me from drowning again
