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 a while 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, 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 (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 (I am strong)
You raise me up, to more than I can be
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains (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
You raise me up, to more than I can be
Thank you
You raise me up (thank you)
(Thank you Belfast) stand on mountains)
(It's been an emotion night for everybody)
(Thank you to BBC radio 2 to Zoe Ball) stormy seas
(To everybody for listening and we'll see you very, very soon)
(Good night) I am strong, ooh
To more than I can be
You raise me up, stand on mountains
Stormy seas
I am strong, ooh
To more than I can be, ooh
