I found the reason for me
to change who i used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the things I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away and be the one who wipes away your tears

That's why I need you to see
I found a reason to show
a side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you


*********


When I am down
and oh my soul so weary
When troubles come
and my heart burdens me

Then I just sit and wait here in the silence
Until you come and stay 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


I am strong when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up to more than I can be.
