You Raise Me Up
Secret Garden & Brian Kennedy
Lyrics by Brendan Graham
Music by Rolf Lovland

(Secret Garden's Violin Solo)

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;

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.

More Information About this song:
Started it's life as a slow air
with fragments of a familiar Irish tune
weaving its way into the melody.
We tried to banish the piece
but it would not go away.
Maybe it wanted a different life-form…and so,
we decided to pursue the idea of adding lyrics
and asked Irish writer Brendan Graham to listen to it.
His books "The Whitest Flower" and "The Element of Fire"
two best-selling novels about the life of Ellen Rua O' Malley
during the Irish famine, had inspired us strongly.
He immediately began to "hear a story" in the melody
and by that same evening had shaped the first draft of
You raise me up.
The unaccompanied violin opening is Fionnuala's first and untouched guide
recording for the original demo,
while Uilleann pipes' grand master,
Liam O Flynn carries the tune through its middle course.
The soulful singing of Brian Kennedy and Tracey Campbell-Nation,
together with the London Community Gospel Choir and Irish choral group, Anúna,
gives full expression to the deep spiritual longing within the lyric.
