Hope of Deliverance Lyrics

I will always be hoping, hoping.
You will always be holding, holding
My heart in your hand.
I will understand

I will understand someday, one day.
You will understand always, always
From now until then.

[Coro]
When it will be right, I don�t know.
What it will be like, I don�t know.
We live in hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us.
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness
That surrounds us.

And I wouldn�t mind knowing, knowing
That you wouldn�t mind going,
Going along with my plan.

[Coro]

Hope of deliverance.
Hope of deliverance.
I will understand.

One of my sister's favorite songs... a very pretty song; this one is definitely underrated. I've always thought it to be about enlightenment (he's hoping for enlightenment)... kinda like in that cave allegory, wisdom is found when you step out of the shadows and into the light.

One of my all-time favorite gems...when I was little, my nickname was "Hope-of-deliverance-from-the-darkness-that-does-sometimes-but-hey-not-always-surround-us." I like the themes.
