Call Me Up
Hi-Yo Silver! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

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.
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.




You raise me up...
to more than I can be.
