It was a long time agoI was a girl bout 12 years oldon my back staring up into the dark summer skywhen I saidGod, 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."NowI don t know just where God livesain t all that sure just exactly who God isI don t know if there s a churchthat deserves to take God s nameI just know that when I look around here I seethe hand of someone or somethingthat is bigger than meand I call that Godand then I pray "Justkeep me God"I m in a plane up in the skyA storm surrounds us as we flyand belowthe big black ocean is all that I can seeWhen all at once I realize: Don t really matter if I live or even if I dieJust so long as you keep me GodNowwhen my days draw to an endand I ve said goodbye to my family and friendsWhen the tide that turns my life is standing stillas I turn my final bendI betcha I m gonna be asking even thenKeep me Godkeep me Godkeep me GodKeep me Godkeep me Godkeep me God
