You Raise Me Up

I never fully realized how wonderful this song is. I think it's because it was so popular at one point that I focused on his other music since everyone knew this song. I was listening to it in the car today and it actually brought a tear to my eye. (I did not shed that tear since my makeup looks great today... Just saying.)
I really think that everyone should really listen to it. Hear the words and the music. It's such a beautiful work of art. (Having said that, so is all his music.)
 
"You Raise Me Up"
Josh Groban

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.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.


I am ridiculously excited for his concert this summer. It'll be the first time seeing him live, and I really hope it won't be the last. It's amazing how quickly my tastes in music change.

I feel like I'll be one of the few younger people going to the concert out of my own will. My nana loves Josh Groban, and I've only ever seen women that are 35+ like him too (that's being kind). Beings how I'm 20, it'll be an interesting experience. I really want younger people to like his music so I hope there are a lot of people there in my age group that like him and aren't just being forced to go!
