[intro] this won't shake me even though I'm lost at sea I am my father's daughter so I keep treading water [Verse] The waves crash hard they pull me down A sea of sorrow where I might drown My arms are tired my breath is thin But I won't let the darkness win [Chorus] Keep my head above the tide Fight the pull that's deep inside The ache in bones the endless fight I'll tread the water through the night [Verse 2] The stars are faint the sky is black No map no compass no way back Each stroke feels like my final plea But I won’t let it bury me [Chorus] Keep my head above the tide Fight the pull that's deep inside The ache in bones the endless fight I'll tread the water through the night [Bridge] The dawn must come it always does The sunlight heals it always was A whisper says to just hold on One moment more till night is gone [Chorus] Keep my head above the tide Fight the pull that's deep inside The ache in bones the endless fight I'll tread the water through the night
