When I am down and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
And I am still and wait here in the silence

Until you come and sit a while with me

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 your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be


And 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

Yes, I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be
