You Raise Me Up
神秘园(secret garden) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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, 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 it's 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.
The song "You Raise Me Up" by Secret Garden is a beautiful and inspiring ballad that encourages listeners to find strength and comfort in times of trouble. The lyrics describe a person who feels weary and burdened by troubles, who then finds solace in the silence and in the company of a loved one who supports and uplifts them. The powerful chorus, "You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas," speaks to the idea that with the support of others, we can overcome challenges and reach new heights in our lives.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of both vulnerability and hopefulness. The lines "There is no life without its hunger; each restless heart beats so imperfectly" acknowledge the struggles and imperfections of life, but the following line, "But when you come and I am filled with wonder, sometimes I think I glimpse eternity," suggests that even in the midst of difficulty, there can be moments of beauty and transcendence.
The driving force behind the song's success lies in its ability to resonate with listeners on a deep emotional level. The image of being lifted up and supported by someone can be universally appealing, and the song's inspiring message has been embraced by people across cultures and generations. It has been covered by dozens of artists, including Josh Groban, who recorded a particularly popular version in 2003.

One of my cousins favourite songs, who passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. She fought every day. Until god said it was enough pain for one person, gave her wings, and she flew away 😭🥺
@misplacedsouthern1236
My sincere condolences for your loss. You must’ve been close with her. I can hear the love and grief in your words. She’s with Our Father where she’s now safe from pain and sorrow. I’ve found comfort in that knowledge over the years. I too, lost a special Child of GOD, who like your dear, sweet cousin, was also in great pain and suffering. They’re free now and at peace for eternity. The World we know isn’t a kind place but where they are, it’s bliss. Love in Christ 🙏
