"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come my foot starts hurting me;
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 run agility;
I am strong, when I can run my Steeple;
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 run agility;
I am strong, when I can run my Steeple;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without my dog sports;
for each course I run so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse winning World Team.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to run agility;
I am strong, when I can run my Steeple;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

I have a  life - a life with all my dog sports;
for each course I now run it perfectly;
So when you come I am so filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse winning World Team.

You raise me up... To more than I can be
