Deliver Me
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deliver me, from all of the madness.
Deliver me, courage to guide me.
Deliver me, strength from inside me.
All of my life I've been in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
Deliver me, loving and caring.
Deliver me, giving and sharing.
Deliver me, the cross that I'm bearing.
All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.
Deliver me,
Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.
All of my life I was in hiding.
Wishing there was someone just like you.
Now that you're here, now that I've found you,
I know that you're the one to pull me through.
Deliver me,
Oh deliver me.
Won't you deliver me.
The lyrics to Sarah Brightman's song Deliver Me speak to a longing for someone to rescue the singer from a lifetime of sadness, madness, and hardship. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Deliver me" as a desperate plea for the person to provide love, care, guidance, and strength. In the verses, the singer reflects on a lifetime of feeling hidden and invisible, with no one to turn to until now that she has found someone who can "pull her through."
The first stanza is a call to action that is optimistic towards rebuilding her life- to be free from sadness and madness, to become a stronger person who is able to overcome any obstacle, and the courage to guide her through. The chorus reinforces the theme of hope and reinforces the plea, "Deliver me", a cry for help from the pain and anxiety she had been experiencing. The second verse, like the first, begins with an emotional evaluation of herself, stating that, "All of my life I have been in hiding, wishing there was someone just like you." She has been hoping and waiting for someone to pull her out of her despair, and it is only now that she has found this person. The song's lyrics convey the transformative power of love and the profound impact it can have on someone's life.
