Keep Me God lyrics

It was a long time ago, I was a girl `bout 12 years old
on my back staring up into the dark summer sky
when I said, `God, tomorrow I can`t see
but I`ll stick close to you if you`ll stick close to me!`
and that night I prayed `Keep me God! Keep me God.`

Now, I don`t know just where God lives
ain`t all that sure just exactly who God is
I don`t know if there`s a church
that deserves to take God`s name
I just know that when I look around here I see
the hand of someone or something
that is bigger than me
and I call that God
and then I pray `Just, keep me God`

I`m in a plane up in the sky
A storm surrounds us as we fly
and below, the big black ocean is all that I can see
When all at once I realize: Don`t really matter if I live or even if I die
Just so long as you keep me God

Now, when my days draw to an end
and I`ve said goodbye to my family and friends
When the tide that turns my life is standing still
as I turn my final bend, I betcha I`m gonna be asking even then
Keep me God, keep me God, keep me God
Keep me God, keep me God, keep me God
