"You Raise Me Up" is a popular song in the inspirational mold. The music was written by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland; the lyrics by Brendan Graham. The song has now been covered more than 125 times, including by Josh Groban and Westlife to name a couple.
It was originally released on the 2001 Secret Garden album "Once in a Red Moon", with the vocals sung by Irish singer Brian Kennedy, and sold well in both Ireland and Norway. The song was used for commemorations of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks despite not having been released in America yet.

    and the best verse, can you believe it?

    "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."

    Man. It's touching that the world was so supportive of the U.S. after the September 11th attacks. But it's so frustrating to realize how far our reputation has fallen . . . But I'm venting. =P

    Thanks for posting this, seanashville. It sent shivers up my spine. Very pretty.
