I Dreamed A Dream

I dreamed a dream in days gone by

When hope was high and life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used and wasted.

There was no ransom to be paid,

No song unsung, no wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,

He filled my days with endless wonder.

He took my childhood in his stride

But he was gone when autumn came.

And still I dreamed he'd come to me,

That we would live the years together

But there are dreams that can not be

And there are storms we can not weather.

I had a dream my life would be

So different from this hell I'm living,

So different now from what it seemed

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.

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, 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.
