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...
