A Special English Song for Me
Years ago, when the first time I heard of this song, I was deeply attracted to its beautiful melody and its full emotions, till now I 'v heard some of the versions about it, even with the pure melody played by different instruments, the inner strength of this song still inspired me how to deal with the hard time in life ... I love this song for it deeply touched me many times.
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
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

For some reason, I can't see what you post from here,but still thank you very much.
Yes, the singer comes from Canada. It's another well-known song, here many young people can sing it.
I am sorry you cannot see the video I posted with the two kids singing their hearts out in a beautiful rendition.
Any way, here is some information from wikipedia about the song:
"You Raise Me Up" is a song that was originally composed by the duo Secret Garden. The music was written by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland and the lyrics by Brendan Graham. After the song was performed early in 2002 by the Secret Garden and their invited lead singer, Brian Kennedy, the song only became a minor UK hit. The song has been recorded by more than a hundred other artists including Josh Groban, who popularized the song in 2003; his rendition became a hit in the United States. The Irish band Westlife then popularized the song in the United Kingdom two years later. "You Raise Me Up" is sung as a contemporary hymn in church services.
Exactly, hope you have a lovely day!
Thanks for your informations, will try to access Josh Groban version online.
Have a good day!
