Running circles in my mind
I'm always breaking all the time
Come and save this heart of mine
Teach me how to believe when I'm falling to pieces
Help me to win this fight
'Cause there's arrows coming at me all over the place
And the devil shouting at me nothing ever will change
But I know a higher power, I know You're on my side
So, I look up to the heavens
God, You keep me alive, You keep me alive
You keep me alive, You keep me alive
There's not a thing the night can do
To stop Your light from breaking through
So, I'll keep my eyes on You
'Cause there's arrows coming at me all over the place
And the devil shouting at me nothing ever will change
But I know a higher power, I know You're on my side
So, I look up to the heavens
God, You keep me alive, You keep me alive
Oh God, You keep me alive, You keep me alive
Oh, You keep me alive
You're my refuge and my home (ooh)
You're the reason I have hope
'Cause there's arrows coming at me all over the place
And the devil shouting at me nothing ever will change
But I know a higher power, I know You're on my side
So, I look up to the heavens
God, You keep me alive
Oh, You keep me alive
You keep me alive (yeah)
