"I'm too young to fall asleep" I hope that teens or anyone basically, who is struggling with mental illness listens to this. Your life is worth so much more than you could ever know ❤💕
I did write a comment that soeaks to my pespective i do not disagree with the point you make but restating here may seem that way. Anything we have wrong is truely mental illness whatever doctors say. I bucked my parents about adhd meds as a child and trusted God will figure me out. Faith works if we work it is one way to say a verse.
It's crazy how she made this song because of her Lyme disease but it touches people with different problems and it doesn't lose the meaning, it's still a prayer for god to help us so we won't lose hope and give up. Thank you Avril for this, we love you so much and I hope you'll have the longest, happiest and healthiest life you can get (she probably ain't gonna see this but I hope the energy gets to her)
As someone who has attempted suicide due to major depression, this song hits fucking home 😭 I'm so glad I'm still alive, regardless of the pain depression brings. God seriously keeps me afloat, and I'm so glad ❤️❤️
I am glad that you insisted to not give in and up. Pain may not always make us stronger than before but it definitely leaves scars behind and irony of that is the blessing it turns out it be, helping us gather experience and courage from all around, summoning them when time demands them harder from us, that's when you know you did the best while not giving up. This makes the two of us and I am sincerely happy for your strength that made you persist through those turbulent times. Welcome to the club.🤍✨
I am depressed and injured. I cannot walk well. I lost my hope, but when I heard this song my hope came back. Thank you, Avril, for this song. ❤️ Thank you, God, for protecting, guiding, and blessing us. 🙏 Fighting! 💪 Thank you all for praying! I can walk now! I can go back, and swim for my team. So we can win champion one more time.
i know this song is about her fighting lyme disease, but to other people it means something to people who are fighting depression and anxiety. edit: (this song means that to me, seeing as i keep fighting every single day) we will win someday.
omg you think that girl is into god she is a hatefil selfish not to mention wicked girl i cant believe all you people defend her you do not know what you all are talking about
i want a restraing order on her she wants all people that dont have a decent mother to have a abusive mother she wants people to be bulimic bc she suffers from a schizo disorder i have been getting harrasment
I found this song when my brother had passed away. Every time I listen to it, it brings back to when we were getting ready to have his services. Avril has always been one of my favorites since I was little. This song holds a special spot in my heart 🖤
I am sorry for your loss. I hope he rests well in the enternal peace and may you and rest of the loved ones cherish his memories and get courage to make everyday a better one while living your best and celebrating the memories you have had together. 🤍
I’m getting married in July 2019. I’m walking down the aisle to this song with the instrumentals. Such a beautiful song, with such deep meaning to me. 💝💖
WOW! Angela . . I just hope in this COVID crazy world your dreams have come and are coming true. If you care to please share how it all went or did you have to postpone/rearrange your wedding? I for one, would love to hear.
thank you God for saving Avril and blessing us with this wonderful song. I've been listening to this song in a loop for a few days right now just to give myself encouragement to continue through life.
I've battled epilepsy and anxiety, and there have been times when I thought I was going to die. This song makes me want to cry, but at the same time, it makes me want to keep fighting no matter how hard it gets. Thanks for this inspiring song, Avril. So happy you're back.
I'm not sure to believe in God, for thousand reasons and even if I come of a Catholic family but despite that I'm really happy that Avril find strenght, courage and comfort in religion. Sometimes, believing in something, faith, can just save someone. And even if I do not believe in God, this music touches me and makes me want to cry, because we see the suffering and the fight that Avril has to lead and how much her love for God is strong. And it's beautiful. Pure. Admirable. I'm just happy to see you here again, Avril. Stronger and more talented than ever. Just a few words of support, even from an atheist, because different religious beliefs do not stop anyone in love and respect. Welcome back, April. Your fans are here, more ready than ever to accompany you in this new adventure.
The reason you don't believe in God is (probably) bcuz you come from a Catholic backround. I know some amazing and Godly Catholics, so don't misunderstand. I'm not against all Catholics. I am against Catholicism. Its religion at its worst. Amish bishops are very similar. Its not about relationship with a creator with them. Its not about a savior. Its not about a daily walk with a God who loves you and longs to converse with you back and forth. Its about religion, and that's about control and fear. And that is wrong! Jesus was all about reconciling man and God back together. Religion seperates. Forget all you have heard at mass. Open your bible and open your heart. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. He will. Don't pray for stuff. Pray for understanding and wisdom. Ask Him to show you who you are, and who He is. I promise you, He will answer and you will never be the same. Religion destroys lives. Jesus Christ restores all things.
It's not really because of that, no. My family was Catholic but they did not really practice. They never even baptized me. I very much agree that religion is the worst thing. I see 2000 history of the Church with a great C and I see only evil. Whether popes, bishops or others, and all the horrors they have committed since the beginning of the creation of this religion. Religion that stifles freedom. But that's not why I do not believe in God. I read the Bible. And I did not like what I read. I do not see why I should submit to a book written by men 2000 years ago. Men who said they saw this and that. But we have no proof of that. Whenever I hear the story of the Bible, I can not help but look up at the sky just imagining men who have drunk too much and wrote this thing to have fun either idea of genius to control the world. I do not believe in God because the Bible did not convince me. Because I do not believe in what I read. Because the very foundation of this book restricts my freedom to act and think. Because I can not help but think that this cult around God is very recent compared to other older religions and that I do not see why this one would be truer than the others. There is so much belief in different countries, so many different gods throughout history. All works a little in the same way. Whether Greek, Egyptian, etc. It's too much religion and gods lol. I do not judge anyone who believes in God. Who am I to judge those who have faith? No one. But I do not believe in God simply because nothing, neither in religion or in the Bible or in these stories of Jesus, convinced me. I see only one book, very old, too old to continue to follow what it says with our current society, and so I prefer to keep my freedom to think as freely as possible and to be interested in any religions, without ever believing in any of them. As I said, there are too many gods and religions lol. All very interesting to study but I would never believe in any of them.
I love your honesty! I grew up Roman Catholic. We practiced frequently when I was young, then less as I grew up, but it wasn't personal for me until 2015. Now I couldn't care less what you call me, I am not Catholic and I think Catholicism has some problems, but I am a follower of Christ. God changed my life, repeatedly, including bringing me the girl I am now married to - and no not through church, lol. We had never met. The difference for me, was realizing that the God of the Bible is real love. His real love seeks and brings about what is best despite the painful costs. I want that real love and what it brings. We always have freedom of action and of thought, within the situations we find ourselves. In our freedom, what's to stop us from doing evil things, and even thinking some are good? It has happened, often - like you say - even in churches. How do we define what is evil, and what is the good way to correct it? Some say we will figure it out together, but that is 'society' and society is notoriously bad at that - and it changes. What you read in the Bible is mankind hearing God and then repeatedly getting it wrong, sometimes trying to get it right, other times not caring, or refusing. Doesn't that sound like us today? Some eventually figured out they needed God, as was already made known and repeated. Even when they tried, they couldn't always love perfectly and resist the advantage of doing things that were not good. Still sounds familiar compared to people today, in my opinion. God made a way to fix all that in Jesus, and I think it's still relevant. It is not one book, but many books and collections written across at least 1000 years, by many people of different cultures, describing events across all of known history also referenced by outside sources, and scrutinized heavily by the entire world to this day. It is astonishingly accurate and consistent. The New Testament has the most textual evidence of all human history, by far, and despite attempts to destroy it. That New Testament references the vast majority of the Old Testament. There is overwhelming evidence if you look. Serious question: What evidence would you need to believe in God? Why do we exist? Look for it! I am searching for truth and have found it so far in Jesus. The God described in these writings offers real love now (joyful yet painful because of lingering evils) and promises life everlasting in that real love when it will no longer be painful. He is not just on a page or in history, He is present now - His name means I AM! He offers real love to you always, and for you to be able to love more perfectly as you practice His ways. Test it! Do you want real love? You may have it, right now. It is a free choice, for all peoples of all times. Every other idea or person or thing falls short of that promise, I've found. I've found that this God has kept His promises in Jesus. Now, I do my best to love well, even when it is hard and seemingly not rewarding. Sorry if this seems sermon-y, I'm just sharing my heart. I say all this because though I have not met you, I desire for you to have joy like what I have found - which God desires also - and I think this may help you find more joy. I sense you're a good person, and I hope you have a wonderful life and that this has been helpful. Feel free to chat with me more, about this or anything. My favorite hobby is games, of any kind really.
I'm a recovering alcoholic with 14 months sober. Every word of this song went through my head when I hit my rock bottom. I knew booze would kill me, but I also couldn't stop on my own. I thank God every day for hearing me beg and sending the help that saved my life.
Wonderful lyrics...it is a prayer for hope...something we all need when going through very difficult stages in life. In my experience in life in the military, through divorce, through suicidal thoughts ...there is answered prayer. I am still going...ever mindful that you never know what each day brings.
@@johnj9976 Jesus Christ is God in the Flesh. When in thw flesh he is a jew. He never made any catholic system. Nor was peter ir his liniage a pope. Nor are we to pray to mary. Blessed aming women fir she was the arc for nine months and she had faith to obey. But Jesus Christ is our own high priest The onlt Holy Father. God ceated Craeted angels. God made mary. jesus Crist is the only begotten not made son. Among other reason why Jesus Christ is God.
My mom is currently in the hospital a month ago she had an asthma attack that caused her to go into respiratory arrest and then she went into cardiac arrest and was without oxygen for 5 minutes she's alive but unresponsive she's making progress but it's very slow.. it's been 1 month ago yesterday that I heard my mom or talked to her this song has definitely helped me ♥️♥️🙏🙏
I could not imagine not hearing my mothers voice. My entire family lives very close to each other and we see each other almost every day. My thoughts are with you, hope she is making progress.
@@Flazhness Yea its amazing how much people take for granted just being able to talk to their mom we just hit the four-month mark a few days back and she's still not talking she's making progress still it's not as much as we would like but it's something everyday is hard the holidays were definitely heartbreaking to go through.. All I can suggest is to cherish every moment like it's the last.. 💙💚💙💚
This song is so meaningfull its like a prayer to god to save the life of struggling people in their health this song deserves more recognition why other nonesense rap with trashy words gets more hit than this masterpiece? #BRINGBACKGOODMUSIC #AVRILISQUEEM
Got diagnosed with Lyme disease this month. My ears hurt, I have tinnitus and am slowly losing my hearing. My eyesight has become TV static, and I'm so sensitive to light. I am an artist and the vision issues are so debilitating. All my joints pop and hurt. I'm a week into antibiotics and no changes yet. Please lend me your prayers, if Avril can get through this, so can I! 💖
Bless you for holding on. I'm no medical expert, but while you're healing, I'd like to recommend an easy addition to your diet. We all need enough hydration to keep ourselves going and even more so when we're in recovery from something. So, for your liquids, add some electrolyte mixes to your intake. Magnesium, sodium, and potassium are all important minerals that help your body receive nutrition better and aid in recovery. Pedialyte is the most common, but my family personally preferes Liquid IV and Nuun as far as brands go. Give your body all the love you can, and in time, it will restore itself.
@@KS-yc5kj no but in an interview Avril revealed what the song is truly about and she said it's about her close to dying due to Lyme disease and that God saved her
@@Rican856 it doesn't have to be just about that. Everyone has a different interpretation to things like music. Avril has even said this before when she was saying what her songs in Goodbye Lullaby meant.
I'm a surviving BI-POLAR DISORDER . I'mma fighter and this song has so much power in it that helps me keep my head floating and survive each day as a fighter . I have huge respect to Avril Lavigne for making this song. It really means alot to me and many other souls just like me 💜
I saw her perform this song on "the Talk" for the first time. It touched my heart. It has a beautiful spiritual message that belief in God will pull you through always. Great song.
I gotta keep the calm before the storm I don't want less, I don't want more Must bar the windows and the doors To keep me safe, to keep me warm Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore And my voice becomes the driving force I won't let this pull me overboard God, keep my head above water Don't let me drown, it gets harder I'll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown, drown, drown Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown So pull me up from down below 'Cause I'm underneath the undertow Come dry me off and hold me close I need you now, I need you most God, keep my head above water Don't let me drown, it gets harder I'll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown, drown, drown Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown Don't let me drown, drown, drown Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (Keep my head above water, above water) And I can't see in the stormy weather I can't seem to keep it all together And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever And I can't breathe God, keep my head above water I lose my breath at the bottom Come rescue me, I'll be waiting I'm too young to fall asleep God, keep my head above water Don't let me drown, it gets harder I'll meet you there at the altar As I fall down to my knees Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown) Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown) Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown) And keep my head above water, above water
07/06/24. Beautiful song. One of my son's friends has been practicing singing this song. This is the song she sings in church during worship... hope all is well. Have a blessed day😊
This song helped me as I felt very sick last year with a really bad cough which lasted for months and I thought I was suffering through depression because I was going through a hard time and I was thinking about my boyfriend a lot. I haven't seen him in a long time. I miss and love him with all of my heart. Good thing that I was wrong and it was a false alarm about depression, but I still miss him. I love u Pit. Please forgive me for everything that I've done...
Wow!! Beautiful song!!🙏🏻 this is the kind of lyrics that has to be heard around the world, they talk about hope . Thank you Avril!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Avril , you have done it again.. blessed us with another beautiful song. God bless you 😢🙇♂️ I feel so sorry for what you have gone through and I want you to know you will always have us loyal fans on your side😍
Very inspirational Avril, there are so many people having issues and also feel like they are drowning and this song just takes all that water away and soothes them from all the pain and hardships that we have to go through and its just a very moving song
John6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. Even tho Avril was a punk rocker i thank the Lord that she turned her life to Christ!!
This song touches me in such ways that even I do not understand. I have never had a song relate to my life so much. The reason that I truly find this song special is because it came out on my birthday, which is also Avril's birthday. Thank you for sharing something so special with all of your viewers.
I remember as a teen, I listened to her songs to make me feel better, to take refuge when everything was dark and encouraged me to still keep going. And today, as an adult, I came accross this song hoping it would have the same effects it had when I used to listened to her. And Indeed, listening this song relieved me for a brief moment of my anxiety.
The song is amazingly beautiful: powerful and insanely moving. I am just extremely surprised that there haven't been too many Atheists coming out and posting rude, uncalled for comments about God and the people who have faith and believe in a higher power. It seems like the very moment God is mentioned, nowadays, Atheists come crawling out of the woodworks to mock Christians, Jews, and anyone else who is religious.
Sadly though I have seen a couple idiots who have been commenting that "she can't rely on her fantasies and imaginations of a higher power for long" and "I hope these religious delusions don't last." Goodness, it makes me mad!
I'm an atheist but I agree. If Avril, or anyone else, takes comfort in believing in a higher power, than who am I to mock that? It's becoming too common, I think, because Christian is beginning to have a negative association due to a few narrow-minded people trying to use the Bible to support bigoted opinions. But no one should use a few people's misguided views to put down an entire religion. I'm not Christian, but this song is lovely and powerful, and it's amazing even if I can't personally relate to the religious aspect.
Avril, thanks to you and this song, im still alive. Really i was super depressed and i didnt know how to handle it. I couldn’t stop myself from falling down. I’m still suffering from all my depression and complicated stuff. But this song saves me every single day. Thank you Avril.
I wish people could be as understanding & supportive of non-celebrities fighting this disease as they are when one of their heroes talks about fighting it... but I am really glad for the visibility and awareness this brings. I hope people know what it is about.
This song let me feel so sad. Every times I listen this song, I can't help but keep crying. I seem to see how you exhausting to fight the disease. Thanks for your trouble. I really love you so much and miss you so much.
Hi, guys, My mom and me. I got into a car crash at 1:15. Thankfully, we are alive. I'm listening to this song right now because I am thankful for being alive. We have no broken bones, just bruises, thankfully. The car crash was not my mom's fault. It was dudes. The dude did a turn right in front of us. It happened on 108 Street right in front of Northgate. So please send prayers and me and my mom, and the other driver.
So happy she's back, missed her singing voice but oh my god she came back with an incredibly song! Such a beautiful but emotional song💕 it just shows no matter what you're going through no matter what condition or problems you have, everyone is strong
Avril Lavigne sings about fighting for her life. The song is a piano-driven pop-rock anthem, in which Lavigne tries to stop herself from drowning under the immense pressure from her battle with Lyme Disease, of which she had not been open about for a long time. She also prays to God and makes references to religion.
When I came back from depressive feelings, this masterpiece hit different to me and I decided to cherish this song for a lifetime ❤️ thank you for helping me
This song is helping me and my stepmom... because my step grandma that I knew since I was two, has lung cancer.And the progress she’s making is 13% out of 100%😔 I don’t know what I’ll do without my grandma 😢😭all we can do is pray 😖🙏
I never was the person who reads the bible or goes to church regularly but i grew up with a mother that taught me that you don't have to go to church to feel God...you can be anywhere and he'll be there for you any time you need it...and its true...i've never been the most religious person but I've always felt this strong connection with God...he's been there for me even when i didn't deserve it... and now im listening to this song with tears in my eyes cause i relate so much to these words and I'm so thankful to my mom and to God for giving me strength to continue fighting for my life!
karena apus I love this ! Same here God bless your heart and may the Lord continue being your shelter and source of strength and working all things for your good. For He is a way maker and our strength
@@juliawburn2352 i work 10 hours a day for 7 days a week....as i said i don't go to church Regurarly but i do go everytime i can...but you seem to be regular with church and bible and i wish you the best on your path
Last week I had a seizure at the lake in the water, near drowned. I only remember a few parts I wish I didnt. I keep listening to this song over and over again even though I'm crying as I hear it. I just feel better listening to it spite the fact I can hardly sleep or anything. I'm not sure if it's making me more sad reminding me of it or making me feel stronger, but I like the song.
After 5 yaers you came up with the story of your life and a very very wonderful encouraging song..God bless you and we keep praying for you... we love you
The lyrics to this song mean so much to me. It's like my emotions can relate to this so much. Amazing song Avril, your voice sounds incredible and I cannot wait to hear the album 💜💜
This song is very inspiring for those who feels like they are in their lowest. God keeps my head above. Don't let me drown. I'll meet you there at the altar.
I don’t have Lyme disease but I have fibromyalgia and this storm just makes me cry because the words hit hard . I am always trying to keep my head above water and not it take me over . Love the song
What a beautiful written and sung song. Something about a singer/songwriter Im attracted too. You can feel the words. Glad Avril is back!!! Wish her much happiness and continued success for many years to come!
Going through a painful breakup, I am so tired of trying to be happy and act like I’m all ok. I am at a point where I don’t see much hope in my life. But this song truly has comfort me. I need to learn to rely and trust in God, not in human. Thank you Avril for such a touching song❤️
Was reading a story on Lyme Disease (which I know all about unfortunately) and discovered she wrote the song about her battle with it. Well done - glad the kid (I know she's not a kid anymore) is back. Be Well, Be Kind and Do Your Best to Make a Differance!
As someone who have a problem: gambling Is very hard to get out of this shi* Thanks to this song I'll do my best to leave all the pain behind And still with life because I'm to young to fall asleep " Right now I'm crying but I'll be here in one weekend and all this shi* will already go So you guys never give up this is our second chance thanks avril See u in Peru I'll be there to heard ur song Love u
this song has hit me hard i mean hard ive broken down crying... as ive been fighting lyme disease for over a year now its the worst thing ive ever had 2 experience in my life, the song has really hit me hard
So beautiful,yet so sad.I got the chills. Wbgl brought me here.I really believe everybody will know this song one day and be like,"I wish I was as strong as her."
Another musician legend that puts efforts into these lyrics with powerful meaning! In truth, I’m in college now, and I feel alone and unmotivated in doing anything, but God did get me this far and it’ll be hard for me. I’m not sure if I prayed rightly, unsure if he answered my prayers but I just need to believe even when things won’t be ok, doesn’t mean it’s the end for me 💙🙏🏾
"I'm too young to fall asleep"
I hope that teens or anyone basically, who is struggling with mental illness listens to this. Your life is worth so much more than you could ever know ❤💕
She means she’s too young to die.
Thanks !

Religion sucks but this is spritiality is different from religion. Religion is evil
why does this well thought out comment have less likes then people repeating some random lyric.
The reason you don't believe in God is (probably) bcuz you come from a Catholic backround. I know some amazing and Godly Catholics, so don't misunderstand. I'm not against all Catholics. I am against Catholicism. Its religion at its worst. Amish bishops are very similar. Its not about relationship with a creator with them. Its not about a savior. Its not about a daily walk with a God who loves you and longs to converse with you back and forth. Its about religion, and that's about control and fear. And that is wrong! Jesus was all about reconciling man and God back together. Religion seperates. Forget all you have heard at mass. Open your bible and open your heart. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. He will. Don't pray for stuff. Pray for understanding and wisdom. Ask Him to show you who you are, and who He is. I promise you, He will answer and you will never be the same. Religion destroys lives. Jesus Christ restores all things.
It's not really because of that, no. My family was Catholic but they did not really practice. They never even baptized me. I very much agree that religion is the worst thing. I see 2000 history of the Church with a great C and I see only evil. Whether popes, bishops or others, and all the horrors they have committed since the beginning of the creation of this religion. Religion that stifles freedom.
But that's not why I do not believe in God. I read the Bible. And I did not like what I read. I do not see why I should submit to a book written by men 2000 years ago. Men who said they saw this and that. But we have no proof of that. Whenever I hear the story of the Bible, I can not help but look up at the sky just imagining men who have drunk too much and wrote this thing to have fun either idea of genius to control the world. I do not believe in God because the Bible did not convince me. Because I do not believe in what I read. Because the very foundation of this book restricts my freedom to act and think. Because I can not help but think that this cult around God is very recent compared to other older religions and that I do not see why this one would be truer than the others. There is so much belief in different countries, so many different gods throughout history. All works a little in the same way. Whether Greek, Egyptian, etc. It's too much religion and gods lol. I do not judge anyone who believes in God. Who am I to judge those who have faith? No one. But I do not believe in God simply because nothing, neither in religion or in the Bible or in these stories of Jesus, convinced me. I see only one book, very old, too old to continue to follow what it says with our current society, and so I prefer to keep my freedom to think as freely as possible and to be interested in any religions, without ever believing in any of them. As I said, there are too many gods and religions lol. All very interesting to study but I would never believe in any of them.
I love your honesty! I grew up Roman Catholic. We practiced frequently when I was young, then less as I grew up, but it wasn't personal for me until 2015. Now I couldn't care less what you call me, I am not Catholic and I think Catholicism has some problems, but I am a follower of Christ. God changed my life, repeatedly, including bringing me the girl I am now married to - and no not through church, lol. We had never met. The difference for me, was realizing that the God of the Bible is real love. His real love seeks and brings about what is best despite the painful costs. I want that real love and what it brings. We always have freedom of action and of thought, within the situations we find ourselves. In our freedom, what's to stop us from doing evil things, and even thinking some are good? It has happened, often - like you say - even in churches. How do we define what is evil, and what is the good way to correct it? Some say we will figure it out together, but that is 'society' and society is notoriously bad at that - and it changes.
What you read in the Bible is mankind hearing God and then repeatedly getting it wrong, sometimes trying to get it right, other times not caring, or refusing. Doesn't that sound like us today? Some eventually figured out they needed God, as was already made known and repeated. Even when they tried, they couldn't always love perfectly and resist the advantage of doing things that were not good. Still sounds familiar compared to people today, in my opinion. God made a way to fix all that in Jesus, and I think it's still relevant.
It is not one book, but many books and collections written across at least 1000 years, by many people of different cultures, describing events across all of known history also referenced by outside sources, and scrutinized heavily by the entire world to this day. It is astonishingly accurate and consistent. The New Testament has the most textual evidence of all human history, by far, and despite attempts to destroy it. That New Testament references the vast majority of the Old Testament. There is overwhelming evidence if you look. Serious question: What evidence would you need to believe in God? Why do we exist? Look for it! I am searching for truth and have found it so far in Jesus.
The God described in these writings offers real love now (joyful yet painful because of lingering evils) and promises life everlasting in that real love when it will no longer be painful. He is not just on a page or in history, He is present now - His name means I AM! He offers real love to you always, and for you to be able to love more perfectly as you practice His ways. Test it! Do you want real love? You may have it, right now. It is a free choice, for all peoples of all times. Every other idea or person or thing falls short of that promise, I've found. I've found that this God has kept His promises in Jesus.
Now, I do my best to love well, even when it is hard and seemingly not rewarding. Sorry if this seems sermon-y, I'm just sharing my heart. I say all this because though I have not met you, I desire for you to have joy like what I have found - which God desires also - and I think this may help you find more joy. I sense you're a good person, and I hope you have a wonderful life and that this has been helpful. Feel free to chat with me more, about this or anything. My favorite hobby is games, of any kind really.
I'm a recovering alcoholic with 14 months sober. Every word of this song went through my head when I hit my rock bottom. I knew booze would kill me, but I also couldn't stop on my own. I thank God every day for hearing me beg and sending the help that saved my life.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard
Me too...love Avril forever 💟
I am currently learning this song. There is so much power in this message!
Wonderful lyrics...it is a prayer for hope...something we all need when going through very difficult stages in life. In my experience in life in the military, through divorce, through suicidal thoughts ...there is answered prayer. I am still going...ever mindful that you never know what each day brings.
Thank you Jesus for reaching Avril
Why Jesus? Why not God? Last time I checked God , Mother and Jesus. God created Jesus & his mom.
@@johnj9976 Then, Why not Jesus? :)
Thank you God to be there for Avril and show her Your love! :) God's amazing!
it is God, Jesus and the holy spirit, not Mother. That is the Trinity
@@johnj9976 Jesus Christ is God in the Flesh. When in thw flesh he is a jew. He never made any catholic system. Nor was peter ir his liniage a pope. Nor are we to pray to mary. Blessed aming women fir she was the arc for nine months and she had faith to obey. But Jesus Christ is our own high priest
The onlt Holy Father. God ceated Craeted angels. God made mary. jesus Crist is the only begotten not made son. Among other reason why Jesus Christ is God.
My mom is currently in the hospital a month ago she had an asthma attack that caused her to go into respiratory arrest and then she went into cardiac arrest and was without oxygen for 5 minutes she's alive but unresponsive she's making progress but it's very slow.. it's been 1 month ago yesterday that I heard my mom or talked to her this song has definitely helped me ♥️♥️🙏🙏
Prayers
@@Caseywebb06 thx u
♥️♥️
I could not imagine not hearing my mothers voice. My entire family lives very close to each other and we see each other almost every day. My thoughts are with you, hope she is making progress.
@@Flazhness Yea its amazing how much people take for granted just being able to talk to their mom
we just hit the four-month mark a few days back and she's still not talking she's making progress still it's not as much as we would like but it's something everyday is hard the holidays were definitely heartbreaking to go through..
All I can suggest is to cherish every moment like it's the last..
💙💚💙💚
This song is so meaningfull its like a prayer to god to save the life of struggling people in their health this song deserves more recognition why other nonesense rap with trashy words gets more hit than this masterpiece? #BRINGBACKGOODMUSIC #AVRILISQUEEM
Got diagnosed with Lyme disease this month. My ears hurt, I have tinnitus and am slowly losing my hearing. My eyesight has become TV static, and I'm so sensitive to light. I am an artist and the vision issues are so debilitating. All my joints pop and hurt. I'm a week into antibiotics and no changes yet. Please lend me your prayers, if Avril can get through this, so can I! 💖
Praying for you!
Bless you for holding on. I'm no medical expert, but while you're healing, I'd like to recommend an easy addition to your diet. We all need enough hydration to keep ourselves going and even more so when we're in recovery from something. So, for your liquids, add some electrolyte mixes to your intake. Magnesium, sodium, and potassium are all important minerals that help your body receive nutrition better and aid in recovery. Pedialyte is the most common, but my family personally preferes Liquid IV and Nuun as far as brands go. Give your body all the love you can, and in time, it will restore itself.
Anti suicidal song.
It's about lyme disease
@@chrisc847 The song didn't include "lyme" this word so it doesn't have to be specific of certain scenario
@@KS-yc5kj no but in an interview Avril revealed what the song is truly about and she said it's about her close to dying due to Lyme disease and that God saved her
@@Rican856 th-cam.com/video/eKHObY3njnM/w-d-xo.html
@@Rican856 it doesn't have to be just about that. Everyone has a different interpretation to things like music. Avril has even said this before when she was saying what her songs in Goodbye Lullaby meant.
This song has SAVED me again and again!!!! Thank you Avril 🙏🙏❤❤❤
Beautiful! It could be a song/prayer for any struggle. I thought of depression when I first heard it before I read why/when she wrote it. ❤
What do you admire most about Avril
I'm a surviving BI-POLAR DISORDER . I'mma fighter and this song has so much power in it that helps me keep my head floating and survive each day as a fighter . I have huge respect to Avril Lavigne for making this song. It really means alot to me and many other souls just like me 💜
This song helped me through nov 2018 , lost my brother to cancer . Thank you Avril for this beautiful song you shared to the world .
Your song pulls me from the dark again.
Thank you, Avril :)
The song to walk through Coronavirus Crisis... We are warriors!
I saw her perform this song on "the Talk" for the first time. It touched my heart. It has a beautiful spiritual message that belief in God will pull you through always. Great song.
I gotta keep the calm before the storm
I don't want less, I don't want more
Must bar the windows and the doors
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (Keep my head above water, above water)
And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
And I can't breathe
God, keep my head above water
I lose my breath at the bottom
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
I'm too young to fall asleep
God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
And keep my head above water, above water
07/06/24. Beautiful song. One of my son's friends has been practicing singing this song. This is the song she sings in church during worship... hope all is well. Have a blessed day😊
Really? That's so cool! I wouldn't have expected a church to allow pop music to be performed.
This song helped me as I felt very sick last year with a really bad cough which lasted for months and I thought I was suffering through depression because I was going through a hard time and I was thinking about my boyfriend a lot. I haven't seen him in a long time. I miss and love him with all of my heart. Good thing that I was wrong and it was a false alarm about depression, but I still miss him. I love u Pit. Please forgive me for everything that I've done...
Wow!! Beautiful song!!🙏🏻 this is the kind of lyrics that has to be heard around the world, they talk about hope . Thank you Avril!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She sounds EXACLY THE SAME EHRN SHE WAS A TEENAGER I LOVE IT normally the voice changes
I have fatal insomnia all my life I lost my sleep I'm scared and this song brings me comfort ❣️
I may not be religious, but I have always loved these types of songs. It shares such a much needed message.
this masterpiece is lowkey a prayer
Avril , you have done it again.. blessed us with another beautiful song.
God bless you 😢🙇♂️ I feel so sorry for what you have gone through and I want you to know you will always have us loyal fans on your side😍
Very inspirational Avril, there are so many people having issues and also feel like they are drowning and this song just takes all that water away and soothes them from all the pain and hardships that we have to go through and its just a very moving song
John6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Even tho Avril was a punk rocker i thank the Lord that she turned her life to Christ!!
Prayers for a friend Chelsea Get well soon God has your hand and your head above water ❤
This song touches me in such ways that even I do not understand. I have never had a song relate to my life so much. The reason that I truly find this song special is because it came out on my birthday, which is also Avril's birthday. Thank you for sharing something so special with all of your viewers.
I remember as a teen, I listened to her songs to make me feel better, to take refuge when everything was dark and encouraged me to still keep going. And today, as an adult, I came accross this song hoping it would have the same effects it had when I used to listened to her. And Indeed, listening this song relieved me for a brief moment of my anxiety.
The song is amazingly beautiful: powerful and insanely moving. I am just extremely surprised that there haven't been too many Atheists coming out and posting rude, uncalled for comments about God and the people who have faith and believe in a higher power. It seems like the very moment God is mentioned, nowadays, Atheists come crawling out of the woodworks to mock Christians, Jews, and anyone else who is religious.
Sadly though I have seen a couple idiots who have been commenting that "she can't rely on her fantasies and imaginations of a higher power for long" and "I hope these religious delusions don't last." Goodness, it makes me mad!
@ADamselInDesign You're very right. It's quite sad.
U roasting atheists like myself won't help even if we do not agree we can appreciate good music
Oh, that wasn't roasting Atheists; if I were going to roast Atheists, you would definitely know it.
I'm an atheist but I agree. If Avril, or anyone else, takes comfort in believing in a higher power, than who am I to mock that? It's becoming too common, I think, because Christian is beginning to have a negative association due to a few narrow-minded people trying to use the Bible to support bigoted opinions. But no one should use a few people's misguided views to put down an entire religion. I'm not Christian, but this song is lovely and powerful, and it's amazing even if I can't personally relate to the religious aspect.
This is my favorite song not just of you but all time
I'm not super religious, but I revisit this song often when I need hope.
she has the voice of an angel
Avril, thanks to you and this song, im still alive. Really i was super depressed and i didnt know how to handle it. I couldn’t stop myself from falling down. I’m still suffering from all my depression and complicated stuff. But this song saves me every single day. Thank you Avril.
I wish people could be as understanding & supportive of non-celebrities fighting this disease as they are when one of their heroes talks about fighting it... but I am really glad for the visibility and awareness this brings. I hope people know what it is about.
Goosebumps. Wow The song is so beautiful
This song let me feel so sad. Every times I listen this song, I can't help but keep crying. I seem to see how you exhausting to fight the disease. Thanks for your trouble. I really love you so much and miss you so much.
Avrilの伸びやかな美しい声に相応しい曲
My favorite song of all time
Hi, guys, My mom and me. I got into a car crash at 1:15. Thankfully, we are alive. I'm listening to this song right now because I am thankful for being alive. We have no broken bones, just bruises, thankfully. The car crash was not my mom's fault. It was dudes. The dude did a turn right in front of us. It happened on 108 Street right in front of Northgate. So please send prayers and me and my mom, and the other driver.
Its good you are fine🙂
Yeah Iam glade@@Kriziin
That feeling when you feel so down and this songs makes you feel that slight bit better
She wrote this some while she was sick and the words explain it all
Such a beautiful song ,it fits my life right now ,in the darkest valley God will find us and carry us through this life.I trust him....
hi! please take a look at my cover of head above water
She has the voice of an angel.
So happy she's back, missed her singing voice but oh my god she came back with an incredibly song! Such a beautiful but emotional song💕 it just shows no matter what you're going through no matter what condition or problems you have, everyone is strong
She saved me before and she is back just in time to save me again! I love you Avril Lavigne ❤️
Been sober for a month now, this makes me cry
I have seen god take me out of every danger and wrong situations.
Every single time he's been protecting me.
I'm not religious anymore (I grew up Catholic), but this song is so inspiring, heartwarming, and hopeful
Avril Lavigne sings about fighting for her life. The song is a piano-driven pop-rock anthem, in which Lavigne tries to stop herself from drowning under the immense pressure from her battle with Lyme Disease, of which she had not been open about for a long time. She also prays to God and makes references to religion.
When I came back from depressive feelings, this masterpiece hit different to me and I decided to cherish this song for a lifetime ❤️ thank you for helping me
Take care, I wish you all the best
This song is helping me and my stepmom... because my step grandma that I knew since I was two, has lung cancer.And the progress she’s making is 13% out of 100%😔 I don’t know what I’ll do without my grandma 😢😭all we can do is pray 😖🙏
Love her for as long as she is with you. Then live your life to make her proud.
Blessings.
Sister Peter thank you so much!❤️
God help her I will pray for her ؛(
Husiin SkjsdjLk thank you!!!☺️
I never was the person who reads the bible or goes to church regularly but i grew up with a mother that taught me that you don't have to go to church to feel God...you can be anywhere and he'll be there for you any time you need it...and its true...i've never been the most religious person but I've always felt this strong connection with God...he's been there for me even when i didn't deserve it... and now im listening to this song with tears in my eyes cause i relate so much to these words and I'm so thankful to my mom and to God for giving me strength to continue fighting for my life!
karena apus I love this ! Same here God bless your heart and may the Lord continue being your shelter and source of strength and working all things for your good. For He is a way maker and our strength
@@Alyssa-cv1bd thank you for your good wishes... hope is the same for you
And reading your Bible and going to church will only strengthen your walk with God!!
@@juliawburn2352 i work 10 hours a day for 7 days a week....as i said i don't go to church Regurarly but i do go everytime i can...but you seem to be regular with church and bible and i wish you the best on your path
Karena apus I think you must go to church and read Bible too. You'll see the difference 😊
Last week I had a seizure at the lake in the water, near drowned. I only remember a few parts I wish I didnt. I keep listening to this song over and over again even though I'm crying as I hear it. I just feel better listening to it spite the fact I can hardly sleep or anything. I'm not sure if it's making me more sad reminding me of it or making me feel stronger, but I like the song.
Well, no matter what. I'm just glad you survived. 😊👍
Songs can make you feel all kinds of ways...the power of music 💚💯🎤🎶
After 5 yaers you came up with the story of your life and a very very wonderful encouraging song..God bless you and we keep praying for you... we love you
Angels watch over this day.
Watch over my family and keep us safe.
God I need you now,.
Come brighten up my day.
GOD, PLEASE HELP ME KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER, PLEASE DON'T LET ME DROWN 🙏😭
This song need to be number 1
Beautiful. I admire singers who can write songs like this ti God. God must be happy. He'll hear you.
Avril's voice,her lyrics and this song makes you reborn again. Avril 4ever.
The lyrics to this song mean so much to me. It's like my emotions can relate to this so much. Amazing song Avril, your voice sounds incredible and I cannot wait to hear the album 💜💜
This song brings me hope! ❤️
This song is very inspiring for those who feels like they are in their lowest. God keeps my head above. Don't let me drown. I'll meet you there at the altar.
I don’t have Lyme disease but I have fibromyalgia and this storm just makes me cry because the words hit hard . I am always trying to keep my head above water and not it take me over . Love the song
I'm an agnostic but this song is beautiful and inspiring no matter what. One of my favorite songs!
This song is so deep. The lyrics are so relatable.Definitely worth the 5 year wait. ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful masterpiece!!!
At the end. When she goes “I lose my breath” I love the low backing vocals added to that sm.
What a beautiful written and sung song. Something about a singer/songwriter Im attracted too. You can feel the words. Glad Avril is back!!! Wish her much happiness and continued success for many years to come!
Going through a painful breakup, I am so tired of trying to be happy and act like I’m all ok. I am at a point where I don’t see much hope in my life. But this song truly has comfort me. I need to learn to rely and trust in God, not in human. Thank you Avril for such a touching song❤️
Was reading a story on Lyme Disease (which I know all about unfortunately) and discovered she wrote the song about her battle with it. Well done - glad the kid (I know she's not a kid anymore) is back. Be Well, Be Kind and Do Your Best to Make a Differance!
''I am too young to fall asleep.'' That line literally gave me goosebumps.
So...Cool is the best music I ever notice so happy and sad 😩 Seriously, is amazing
*_AVRIL_*
*IS THE BEST!! QUEEN
Great song Avril, I believe I was praying for you many years ago when you were singing at the Grand Ole Opry... God bless you!
As someone who have a problem: gambling
Is very hard to get out of this shi*
Thanks to this song I'll do my best to leave all the pain behind
And still with life because
I'm to young to fall asleep "
Right now I'm crying but I'll be here in one weekend and all this shi* will already go
So you guys never give up this is our second chance thanks avril
See u in Peru I'll be there to heard ur song
Love u
This needs to be a worship song
Love this song and it holds so much personal meaning for me. I think it's safe to say this is my favorite Avril song yet!
this song has hit me hard i mean hard ive broken down crying... as ive been fighting lyme disease for over a year now its the worst thing ive ever had 2 experience in my life, the song has really hit me hard
I can feel how desperate she was.. and so amazed she wrote a song from her fighting. Bless her..!!
So beautiful,yet so sad.I got the chills.
Wbgl brought me here.I really believe everybody will know this song one day and be like,"I wish I was as strong as her."
Beautiful song with beautiful words. I think more people must listen to the words
Avrilllllllllllll your song is very inspirational it reminds me how I fight with my hardship
Love you ♡♥♡ god bless you be safe😊
Another musician legend that puts efforts into these lyrics with powerful meaning! In truth, I’m in college now, and I feel alone and unmotivated in doing anything, but God did get me this far and it’ll be hard for me. I’m not sure if I prayed rightly, unsure if he answered my prayers but I just need to believe even when things won’t be ok, doesn’t mean it’s the end for me 💙🙏🏾
Damn when you live in silence. You need an anthem, and a reason to keep fighting this will do just fine .100% what an amazing song,
Avrils music is one of the reasons I’m alive 💖
