Assignment #5 You Raise Me Up

About "You Raise Me Up":

"You Raise Me Up" is a song originally composed by Irish-Norwegian duo Secret Garden.
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 hit in the UK. 
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 UK two years later.

Three words I learned from this song:

1.glimpse (v. 瞥見 )
   e.g. They glimpsed a village through the trees.

2.eternity(n. 永恆、不朽)
   e.g. Their love was sealed for eternity.

3.weary (adj. 疲倦的、乏味的)
   e.g. She grew weary of staying home.

Why I like this song?

-I like this song because it's very inspiring. Every time I feel down or stressed, I would listen to the song and relax myself, and all the pressure will be relieved. I truly recommand this song to you not just because i like it, but i hope it can help you,too.

Lyrics

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.
