When I am down and oh my soul so weary   When troubles come and my heart burdened be   And 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 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 your shoulders   You raise me up to more than I can be      And 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
