Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will always be
Hoping, hoping
You will always be
Holding, holding
My heart in your hand
I will understand, ooh
[Verse 2]
I will understand
Someday, one day
You will understand
Always, always
From now until then
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us
(From the darkness that surrounds us)
Hey
[Verse 5]
And I wouldn't mind
Knowing, knowing
That you wouldn't mind
Going, going
Along with my plan
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us
(From the darkness that surrounds us)
[Verse 8]
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us
[Verse 9]
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
From the darkness that surrounds us
(From the darkness that surrounds us)
[Verse 10]
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
(I will understand)
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
(I will understand)
Hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance
