When I am down,
And, oh my soul, so weary
When troubles come
And my heart burdened be
Then I am still
And wait here in the silence,
Until you come
And sit awhile with me...
You raise me up
So I can stand on mountains
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas
I am strong
When I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up
To more than I can be...
You raise me up
So I can stand on mountains!
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas!
I am strong
When I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up
To more than I can be...
There is no life
No life without this hunger;
Each restless heart
Beats so imperfectly,
But when you come
And I am filled with wonder
Sometimes, I think
I glimpse eternity...
You raise me up
(You raise me up!)
So I can stand on mountains!
(I can stand on mountains!)
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas!
(Walk on stormy seas!)
And I am strong
When I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be...
You raise me up
To more than I can be...
