I am curious as to who/what inspired the Irish-Norwegian group named "Secret Garden Duo" to write the hit song "You Raise Me Up"? It has been recorded by over 125 artists worldwide and seems to have won huge sales, acclaim and awards to pretty much everyone who has sang it. I've searched all over to find the motivation or reason for writing this song, including on the main website of the artists. I have not found anything explaining where the idea came from, and who are they referring to that "raises them up" to more than they can be? On whose shoulders are they "strong", according to the song? At first thought, it seems to me that this fits in more as a Christian type song (seeing as how it doesn't make a lot of sense to tell another human equal to us that they "raise us up to more than we can be"). But they apparently do not seem to be Christian or "religious" at all, in that sense. They also seem to write mostly instrumental music. Any help with cited references would be helpful.
