Lyrics

I'm in way too deep

I feel deeply involved or committed.

I've forgotten how to swim

I've lost my ability to navigate or handle challenges.

I can't tell which way is up or down

I'm disoriented, unsure of my position in life.

Save me before I drown down here

Rescue me from the overwhelming difficulties I'm facing.

I just need some air

I require relief or assistance.


I'm coming up to breathe

I'm making an effort to come up for air.

Oh, I'm coming up to breathe

Reiteration of the intention to take a breath.

I've held my breath for all my life

I've endured challenges throughout my life.

But I am breaking free tonight

Tonight, I'm liberating myself from constraints.

And I'm coming up to breathe

Reaffirmation of the decision to breathe freely.


I just need to break these chains

I need to break free from restrictive circumstances.

I just need to leave this place

I need to distance myself from my current situation.

Before now this was all I knew

Until now, my current circumstances defined my existence.

But with just one glimpse of You I see

A revelation that a connection with a higher power transforms perspective.

You're the air I need

Acknowledgment that the divine is the essential sustenance.


I've done everything I can

I've exerted maximum effort to find stability.

To get myself up on dry land

Despite efforts, I find myself in need of divine intervention.

Lord, here I am again

A plea for assistance from a higher power.

Reaching for Your hand

Actively seeking support from the divine.
