    I am at a complete loss after seeing what happened last night in new zealand. I cannot unsee the live video that I accidentally stumbled upon.... I will never comprehend the hate and anger in these horrendous acts of violence. I will never accept them, We are all humans. We are all equal....Only light and love belongs here. Sitting here with tears streaming down my face watching these young kids singing with all their hearts brings me hope for the future. I have two young children... and I need to believe that they will be safe, that they will be brought into a world that believes in love and peace and equality. I vow to you, and the world that I will live my life promoting love and goodness and bring as much light into this world that I possibly can... for my family, for the hollensfamily, for the world... why would there be any other reason to be alive? Thanks for listening. Love you all. - P
    I hope Josh Groban likes it ;)

    LYRICS:
    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
    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
    You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
    #YouRaiseMeUp, 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
    One of the reasons I did this song was because of the beautiful version the Celtic Woman did of You Raise Me Up. The biggest reason however, is because of you and your requests keep those coming down below.

      I get it, me too, I am a 60-year-old man who also loves to cry with songs like this, why? I honestly don't know that answer, but my hunch is that its moments like this that rattles our souls to its core to connect us to our proper and righteous place in this beautiful earth we all call home. I think it's all about the energies, it's like riding on the wave of creation itself, and its beautiful.
      With our world in seemingly wicked times with so much chaos all around us, its important to remind ourselves to reconnect with the heavens because songs like this is like speaking tp spirit God himself. it brings us back to the oneness we were always meant to be all along. just a hunch though... yeah I get it

    Peter, with every fiber of my being, thank you for your version of this song. "You Raise Me Up" has a very, very special place in my heart.
    In May 2017, my Wife and I lost our 20 month old son Elijah to Congenital Heart Disease. In the space of one day, our whole world had fallen apart. We were completely lost and had no idea how we were going to cope with the coming days and weeks. A couple of days later, in the depths of horrendous depression, I happened to hear this song performed by Josh Groban. These lyrics and his delivery spoke right to my shattered soul and gave me a tiny sliver of hope; hope that no matter how tough the road ahead, there is always light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Even in the deepest pit of depression, this song gave and still gives me hope.
    Having just viewed your cover of this absolutely beautiful song with 200 angels singing behind you, I was in tears of joy and peace. Nearly 4 years after Elijah's passing, it has renewed that feeling of hope for the future. You are a musical genius and I am so grateful for the passion that you show with every project you complete.
    With the love of our eldest son and each other, the road ahead is looking decidedly brighter. Your beautiful voice and your beautiful family continue to inspire and reassure us. God bless you.

    Thank you Peter for being willing to be a shining light of love.

    Thoughts are prayers go out to the victims of the appalling tragedy in New Zealand. So many bright and beautiful souls have been taken from us. It gives me comfort to know the world is mourning as one, and that for every one of these monsters there are a million of us. The New Zealand synagogues are closed for shabbat in the first time in that nations history in solidarity with the victims. God bless🇺🇸❤️🇳🇿
