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

Cory Maxson was the son of Troy and Rose Maxson. He is a good student in highschool, plays football, and hopes to make his father proud.

This poem relates to Cory because the author talks about his father in the memory of his hats that he held as a kid. The author wrote this several years after his fathers death, so Cory would relate to the reminiscing of a lost father as well.

"troy: You eat every day.
cory: Yessir!
troy: Got a roof over your head.
cory: Yessir!
troy: Got clothes on your back.
cory: Yessir."
This quote shows that Cory respects his father and has been taught and raised to do so.

"cory: Come on, Pop! I got to practice. I can’t work
after school and play football too. The team
needs me. That’s what Coach Zellman say . . ."
This quote shows that Cory knows what he wants in his life and works hard to balance his goals.

Cory has many strength going along with his determination to reach his goals. We hear him talk about balancing his school and work life several times throughout the play. Cory does have a large weakness in acceptance though. This is especially obvious in one of the final scenes where he almost refuses to go to his fathers funeral. I sympathize with Cory strongly because I also have problem with accepting change.

The song I chose talks about being raised to a better version of himself. I think Cory would relate to this later in the play because of his realization that his father had already helped him grow up and become a great man. He does not need to worry about all the bad things he did anymore

This is "My Son Tred Always Follow Father's Footsteps" by Theodore Kittlesen. It shows two anthropomorphic frogs walking, the father in front as the son walks through the fathers footprints in the mud. I think this relates to Cory because he looked up to his dad very much, but even though he did not want to end up like Troy many of his traits rubbed off on him.
