Running
Sarah Brightman(莎拉布萊曼) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was sad and I was silent
In shadow of my soul
Ever seeking the horizon
For promises untold

I dream of silent oceans
And I sing of waters blue
With the crossing of angels
Brought forth to guide me through

To a distant shore so welcoming
Where I was free to roam
In a land of ancient mystery
That I could call my own

[Chorus]
This is me and you
And we are running
To change the world
Where hope is shining through
Gaia's green and blue
And we are running
To save the world
That we're about to lose

We'll be running
Watch it coming
Green is shining through
Love is rising
Worlds colliding
Green is shining through

[Chorus]

Can you hear the distant beating
Of passion born of old
Reaching out to far horizons
Of prophecy untold

I will wander through the desert
I will seek you in my hand
In the silence of shadows
In palaces of sand

Then a voice called from the wilderness
Whose spirit held the key




To a world and soul united
Forever strong and free

Overall Meaning

In Sarah Brightman's song "Running", she expresses her yearning for something more out of life. The opening lines set a introspective mood as she describes herself feeling sad and silent, hidden within the depths of her soul. She sings about looking for something just beyond the horizon, something with promises untold. The following lines depict an idyllic picture of a peaceful ocean she dreams of, with the metaphor of angels assisting her journey. The verse ends with the singer finding a land of ancient mystery that she could call her own, a place where she felt free to roam.


The chorus of "Running" begins with the declaration that "this is me and you" and both are running together towards a common goal - to change the world where hope can shine. The image of Gaia's green and blue conveys the idea of the Earth as a living being, with its natural environment of forests, rivers and oceans that we must protect. The second line in this section poignantly concludes, that we are running to save the world that we are about to lose. The subsequent lines repeat the chorus but add an upbeat note of urgency to the lyrics as if the world is in dire need of our help.


Line by Line Meaning

I was sad and I was silent
I was feeling unhappy and quiet


In shadow of my soul
In the darkness within me


Ever seeking the horizon
Always looking for something better


For promises untold
For things that have yet to happen


I dream of silent oceans
I imagine peaceful waters


And I sing of waters blue
And I express my longing for blue water


With the crossing of angels
With the help of heavenly beings


Brought forth to guide me through
Sent to lead me forward


To a distant shore so welcoming
To a far-off land that invites me


Where I was free to roam
Where I had the freedom to explore


In a land of ancient mystery
In a place with an intriguing history


That I could call my own
That I could claim as mine


This is me and you
This is who we are together


And we are running
And we are moving forward


To change the world
To make the world a better place


Where hope is shining through
Where optimism is visible


Gaia's green and blue
The earth's natural spaces and water


To save the world
To rescue the world from harm


That we're about to lose
That is in danger of being destroyed


We'll be running
We will keep moving forward


Watch it coming
Be ready for what is ahead


Green is shining through
The presence of nature is overpowering


Love is rising
Love is growing stronger


Worlds colliding
Different perspectives are coming together


Can you hear the distant beating
Do you hear the far-off rhythm


Of passion born of old
Of long-standing, intense feelings


Reaching out to far horizons
Expanding beyond current limitations


Of prophecy untold
Of predictions yet to be revealed


I will wander through the desert
I will explore a barren, isolated place


I will seek you in my hand
I will search for you within myself


In the silence of shadows
In the quietest, darkest moments


In palaces of sand
In the grandeur of an empty and temporary environment


Then a voice called from the wilderness
Suddenly, a message came from an unexpected place


Whose spirit held the key
Whose essence contained the solution


To a world and soul united
To a place where the world and the individual are in harmony


Forever strong and free
Permanently resilient and unrestricted

Tony Barde

I vow to Thee my country
All earthly things above
Entire and whole and perfect
The service of my love
The love that asks no questions
The love that stands the test
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best
The love that never falters
The love that pays the price
The love that makes undaunted
The final sacrifice

And there’s another country
I’ve heard of long ago
Most dear to those who love her
Most great to those who know
We may not count her armies
We may not see her king
Her fortress is a faithful heart
Her pride is suffering
And soul by soul and silently
Her shining bounds increase
And her ways are ways of gentleness
And all her paths are peace

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Idrin San-nad

I was sad and I was silent
In shadow of my soul
Ever seeking the horizon
For promises untold

I dreamed of silent oceans
And I sang of waters blue
With the crossing of angels
Brought forth to guide me through

To a distant shore so welcoming
Where I was free to roam
In a land of ancient mystery
That I could call my own

This is me and you
And we are running
To change the world
Where hope is shining through

Sky is green and blue
And we are running
To save the world
That we're about to lose

We'll be running, watch it coming
Green is shining through
Love is rising, worlds colliding
Green is shining through
Shining, shining, shining

This is me and you
And we are running
To change the world
Where hope is shining through

Gaya's green and blue
And we are running
Until green is…
