Down in the lowlands,
Won't you save me'
Save me,
Hear my cry, oh,
Won't you save me'
Save me.

The water is up to my neck; I'm sinking in the deep,
There is no foothold to be found anywhere,
I'm very worn out from calling for help,
My throat is hoarse, and dry as a bone,
My eyes, they fail me from looking for you,
Are you looking for me'

'Cause I'm down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Hear my cry, hear my shout,
Save me, save me,
Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Won't you hear my cry, hear my shout'
Save me, save me,

Could this be it'
Could I be drowning'
Have I failed to be heard by the only one who can save me' (save me, save me)
Show me some mercy, and touch me again,
Please lift me up above where I am.

My eyes, they fail me from looking for you,
My eyes, they fail me from looking for you,
Are you looking for me' (are you looking for...)

'Cause I'm down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Won't you hear my cry, hear my shout'
Save me, save me,
Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Won't you hear my cry, hear my shout'
Save me, save me,
Down in the lowlands, where the water is deep,
Won't you hear my cry and hear my shout'
Save me, save me.

Show me mercy, Lord, (save me)
Touch me where I am,
Show me mercy, Lord, (save me)
Touch me where I am,
Show me mercy,
Show me mercy, Lord,
Won't you lift me up'
Oh, lift me up from where I stand.

I said, ooh,
Show me mercy, Lord,
I said mercy, mercy me, (mercy, mercy me)
Oh yeah,
I said mercy, mercy me, (I say mercy, mercy me)
Oh yeah,
I say mercy, mercy me, (mercy, mercy me)
I said mercy, mercy me. (mercy, mercy me)

Hear me cry and hear my shout,
Hear me cry and hear my shout, (save me, save me)
Down in the lowlands, (down in the lowlands)
Said mercy, mercy me, (mercy, mercy me)
Oh, I said mercy, mercy me, (mercy, mercy me)
Oh, I said mercy, mercy me, (mercy, mercy me)
Oh yeah,
I say mercy, mercy me. (mercy me)

Hear my cry, hear my shout,
Hear my cry, hear my shout,
Hear my cry, and hear my shout,
Hear my cry, and hear my shout, (hear my shout)
Hear my cry, hear my shout,
Hear my cry, hear my shout,
(fade)
