Underwater
Joe Marc's Brother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm sinking in my thoughts again
And my life is pulled over a shoulder.
It's so hard to fight the undertow
When I'm coming up from below
And I feel like I'm losing all my power.
It's so hard to find the top,
Hard to see the top.
Then you come to me.
I can finally breathe.
Because I feel like I've been under the water.
And you take my hand,
And you lead the way.
Help me up to the top of the water.
And I'm frightened by the present tense
In a world without pretense
And no longer a burden to shoulder.
What I fear the most is freedom;
All the glory and the kingdom come,
Because before all my dreams had been shattered.
When I'm down so low
It's so hard to find the top,
Hard to see the top.
Then you come to me.
I can finally breathe
Because I feel like I've been under the water.
And you take my hand,
And you lead the way.
Help me up to the top of the water.
Well, I was down so low
And I thought I heard a voice,
Thought I heard a voice.
Why do you drown in fear
When I'm always here?
Help you up to the top of the water.
And when you sink below
You are never alone.
Help you up to the top of the water.
Doo doo doo doo doo
