Deliverance

Backstory

“This song was inspired by the movie ‘The Peanut Butter Falcon’. And a recognition that
the most beautiful and meaningful things I have created in life have always been with the help of others - working with them, side-by-side.”

Lyrics

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 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 
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
and 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.
