You Raise Me Up Lyrics

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 its 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, 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.

This is another song that Rhydian has stamped his own mark on. He

sings it with such emotion and meaning. I love it / him Very Happy

This is a tricky one for me. I really love it, but certain days it really gets to me. And even more so for my mum. The problem is how similar it sounds to Danny Boy. Nobody in our family has ever been able to listen to Danny Boy without needing to cry. My nan had a little brother called Danny who I think was deaf and mute and he died at 11, and my nan never got over it, so everytime she heard Danny Boy she'd have to leave and cry. And it spread through the family, and became worse when my nan died so now whenever we hear that or You Raise Me Up it really tugs the heart strings. On a good day we turn it up and sing at the tops of our voices, but on a fragile day it's tough Crying or Very sad

And I suspect that when Mum and I go to the 02 gig, we'll both be stood there crying while Rhyd sings this one
