By Secret Garden - CD Entitled "Once in a Red Moon"
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....To more than I can be.
Gates of Dawn
The wheels of life keep turning, Spinning without control;
The wheels of the heart keep yearning,
For the sound of the singing soul.
And nights are full with weeping
For sins of the past we've sown;
But, tomorrow is our for the keeping,
Tomorrow the future's shown.
Lift your eyes and see the glory.
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the Gates of Dawn.
And whose is the hand who raises
The sun from the heaving sea?
The power that ever amazes-
We look, but never will see?
Who scattered the seeds so life could be,
Who coloured the fields of corn?
Who formed the mould that made me--me,
Before the world was born?
Lift you eyes and see the glory,
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the Gates of Dawn.
