You Raise Me Up

Josh Groban - You Raise Me Up

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.

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, 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.

Excelent song! :)

Those are beautiful lyrics! Would any of you recommend his albums? If so, which?

[tiger_rascal]

You Raise Me Up is from his newest album Closer. :)

[Leezard]

I would definitely recomend both albums! He has this amazingly soothing voice that can make me relax even when I'm totally stressed out.

Josh Groban is an excellent artist!! I simply love his vocals and the lyrics to this song are just so beautiful they make me cry. Thank you Chad for bringing it to my attention. I heard another of his new songs last week and I want this album. That's my next purchase. His first album is great!! I first heard him sing with Celine on her special and I was simply amazed.

Actually I tried to buy online his music in piano sheet music from his old website and never could get the order to process. I'd love to find it if anyone can help me find it. My daughter plays so pretty and I'd love to hear her play his songs and try to sing some of them too. :o

That song was sung at our high school's National Honor Society induction the other night....it's beautiful!

It was dedicated to us parents, and, of course, it made me cry.

What kind of music does he sing - never heard of him?

[tiger_rascal]

Im really not quite sure what kind of music it is.

You can hear "You Raise Me Up" at that website, click on music and it should be the first available song in the player in the upper right hand corner.

Thanks tigerrascal, I just listened to it and it is a very nice song. I don't think he wrote it... it was recently in the UK singles charts by Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell.. but Josh sings it better!
