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 <lnterlude> 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 To more than I can be
