[Verse 1]
I will always be hoping, hoping
You will always be holding, holding
My heart in your hand
I will understand

[Verse 2]
I will understand someday, one day
You will understand always
Always from now until then

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us

[Verse 3]
And I wouldn't mind knowing, knowing
That you wouldn't mind going
Going along with my plan

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us

[Outro]
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance
Hope of deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance, I will understand
Hope of deliverance, hope of deliverance, I will understand
Hope of deliverance

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
