Danielle Brooks
Underwater
[Verse 1]
When I was young
I always got the job done
My mama said I'm on my own now
When I need help
I tell myself I got this
But it's too much to carry on alone

[Pre-Chorus 1]
If you ask, you shall receive
Not easy as it seems 'specially for me
If only I could kiss the down goodbye
Wouldn't it be nice

[Chorus 1]
To call a friend
To help me bear the low
I've carried on my own
Someone to hold my hand
Lead me through the storm
Save me when I'm underwater

[Verse 2]
I've been let down
Soaking in dissapointments
The ones I thought I'd count on let me drown
I've given up
I couldn't find a lifeline
No trace of light to guide me back to shore

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But oh how life can be
The ones I never dreamed came to rescue me
It showed me that grace and empathy are given and received
So if you just

[Chorus 2]
Call a friend
To help you bear the low
You've carried on my own
Someone to hold your hand
Lead you through the storm
Save me when you're underwater

[Chorus]
So if you find a friend
To help you bear the low
You've carried on my own
Then you should hold their hand
Lead them through the storm
Save them when they're underwater
