The song describes feeling down and burdened by troubles until sitting in silence, when one is raised up by another to stand on mountains, walk on stormy seas, and become stronger and able to do more than they could before with the other's support and presence. The lyrics repeat that the other raises them up to have strength and ability beyond what they could achieve alone.

1. "You Raise Me Up"
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles ________ and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and ________ 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 ________ I can be.
