License This Song 

• 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 a while 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 (stand on mountains)
  You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas (stormy seas)
  I am strong (I am strong), when I am on your shoulders (I am strong)
  You raise me up, to more than I can be
  
  You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains (stand on mountains)
  You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas (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 Writer/s: Brendan Graham, Rolf U. Lovland

• Adrianna from Bloomington, InOh, neat; I didn't realise this song existed before Josh Groban's version. And yeah, I think this is so popular for American Idol because, if I remember right, it's one of Simon's favorites. So anyone who nails it gets bonus points with him. ;)
• Marina from Seattle, WaThis song, I believe, has to be one of the most popular American Idol audition songs for males.
