Meet me by the river Bring your bedsheets down We will sew our sails If we wait to be delivered We will spend our lives Rowing circles to nowhere All the world is bigger When we meet the sea Meet that open water open air Braver both together Though the hour is late We can bend our fate We will no longer wait for, wait for it, wait for Deliverance We will ride the tide and hold the line And never look back no no never And you will be my Deliverance Hold the candle high and we will write The story unfolds Like the stories of old Told us long, long ago, long ago I will be your Deliverance Some things last forever You can lean on me I will be by your side See the lights all shine and shimmer On the riverside As we pass them by Reflections, like a mirror Of the lights above Just like you and I And now I see it clearer Though the hour is late We can bend our fate We will no longer wait for, wait for it, wait for Deliverance We will ride the tide and hold the line Brave the night brave the night brave the night Be my Deliverance Hold the candle high and we will write The story unfolds Like the stories of old Told us long, long ago, long ago I will be your Deliverance Find that steady light Always from the North This will be alright We will write the plot, plot the course, write the plot Be my deliverance Be my deliverance And I will be your deliverance
