You Raise Me Up
Secret Garden & Brian Kennedy 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, 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
And 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

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary
When I am sad and tired
When troubles come and my heart burdened be
When I am facing difficulties and my heart is heavy
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence
Then, I become quiet and wait in silence

Until you come and spend some time with me

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.
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.

In my view this is THE BEST performance of 'You Raise Me Up'. Written by Norwegian composer Rolf Løvland, life recorded with Fionnuala Sherry and sung in the most sensitive and powerful way by Norwegian perfect casting to this song - Espen Grjotheim.and his perfect female counterpart casting Tracy Campbell.
In my perception, this peak performance is without beyond anything to compare it with and stands superior in its greatness comparable only to the breathtaking beauty of Norwegian nature so beautifully captured by many of the wonderfully written and composed concert pieces of heavenly music of Secret Garden.
I LOVE THIS MUSIC.
Thank you Fionnuala Sherry and Rolf Løvland the heart of Secret Garden together with Espen Grjotheim and Tracy Campbell Nations.
Cordial greetings

신인이 아닌 기존의 성악가들이 부른것으로
착각될만큼
풍성한 성량으로 들으니
마속 깊은데까지
시원하게 뚫리는듯 맑아지는
맘이네요
여러분들을 왜 지금에서야
알게됐는지
아쉬움이 조금 남기두하구요
때론 방탄의 공연 한장면 본듯
때론 인류 최고의성악가를
보는듯
웅장함에 두볼에 눈물이흐르네요

That opening violin sound gave me absolute goosebumps and I don't know for how long I cried remembering my mom. She raised me up as a single parent after losing my dad to suicide. And she raised me up to be good, to be brave, and to be kind. Oh, how I miss her.
One of the most beautifully poignant songs ever written. We all feel something listening to this masterpiece

Very stunning performance! The song really touched my heart; it boosts courage and confidence. It's true - God has raised me up when I am down. Very well-written by the composer/s and perfectly presented by the artists.
