You Raise Me Up Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
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 (Up)
So I can stand on mountains (Can stand on mountains)
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas (Stormy seas)
I am strong (I am strong)
When I am on your shoulders (Ooh-ooh)
You raise me up
To more than I can be
You raise me up (Up)
So I can stand on mountains (Can stand on mountains)
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas (Stormy seas)
I am strong
When I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be

[Outro]
You raise me up
To more than I can be

About

The 12th track on Josh Groban’s 2003 album Closer. Contrary to popular belief, “You Raise Me Up” is not a Josh Groban original, but rather a cover version of the song originally composed and performed by Secret Garden and Brian Kennedy. Though their version was not very successful, Groban’s version became a big hit, topping the Billboard Adult Contemporary charts in early 2004 and staying there for 6 weeks, eventually becoming his most well-known song.
