Madonna - Sanctuary Lyrics
[Spoken:]
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her I shall follow
Who needs the sun, when the rain's so full of life
It's here in your arms I want to be buried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs the sun, when the rain's so full of life
Who needs the sky, when the ground's open wide
It's here in your arms I want to be buried
You are my sanctuary
Who needs a smile, when a tear's so full of love
Who needs a home, with the stars up above
You are my sanctuary
Who needs the light, with the darkness in your eyes
Who needs to sleep, with the stars in the sky
It's here in your soul I want to be married
You are my sanctuary
[Spoken:]
And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth
Is all of this pain so necessary
You are my sanctuary
[Spoken:]
Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice
Him or her I shall follow
As the water follows the moon, silently
Who needs the sun (with fluid steps)
Who needs the sky (around the globe)
Who needs to sleep (I hear your voice)
You are (you are) my sanctuary
You are (you are, you are)
You are (you are) my sanctuary

I make my home a sanctuary
Bisexual queen
An Interlude in a Tour will be so Magical with this one

Satanic? lol How so?
How is she Satanic?
@Patrick the Big Mouth enough ??

It's here in your soul I want to be married
You are my sanctuary
And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth

You are (You are) my sanctuary
You are (You are, you are)
You are (You are) my sanctuary
One of her best songs of all time. She’s at her best. Would have sounded incredible on Madame X. I hope it’s on tour
iChinga su puta madre, esta me gusta!
Madonna makes even songs with a spiritual message sound erotic...I can't be the only one feeling the pure sex in this song can I...?
Magnificent song... so mystical and spiritual....
pure brilliance, she is an artistic genius
So many chills for the entire song. What a sexy voice and hypnotic rhythm track.
'i want to be carried...
i want to be burried...'
what the hell she is saying! :-O i'm afraid
its here in your arms.... its here in your heart.....in your soul... etc...
love this song so much!
It really as though she was singing to "the opposite of light" ? Just like what everyone said her eurovision performance was about.
I really don't want to entertain such an idea, the endless conspiracies are just exhausting, but she really had been suggesting something here and there...
? ? ?
yes she’s evil if that what you were inferring
No... You can't just say that for sure. You don't know her.
At least she always stands by what she said, and doesn't pretend to be agreeable while backstabbing others like too many hypocritical TV personalities now.
And she earned every bit of her reputation (positive or negative... whatever)
And she helped build hospital, school...etc.
Sorry if my English had bothered you, but I'd really like to have some healthy conversation :)
Love it
2019 baby!!!
Love the aura of this track, love the queen
The sun the rain the sky the life the home the tears the rain the love the smile the stars ... what a splendid song with a marvellous voice!!!
This song puts me in a trance 🙌🏽💞
Bedtime Stories is sooooooooooooo underrated
this song is beyond beautiful..madonna is fucking amazing
2019 Perú
The duo of this track and bedtime story is incredible. Complete departure from the previous tracks
Sounds like B-Side of Erotica ! So Strong !
she's not going to bed. but she arose with new star power and appreciated for that time she put into soul.
2:49
My sanctuary
And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth
Is all of this pain so necessary
TOP NOTCH 10-1994
Everyone needs sanctuary somewhere at sometime....right? Mr. President.
Did anyone Hear Bedtime Story excerpt at the end?
Bellissima!!!!
this record is definitely one of my top 5 records... I'd say 2 or 3.
What a great album ...back in the day I was about 18 and did not appreciate just how good this album is....wish Madonna would do this kind of album again....
Madonna
Underrated album and song. This song puts me in a trance
This is so deep and magical. I love Madonna. One of her the best songs ever.
"Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice, him or her I shall follow as the water follows the moon..."
Amazing lyrics. Her voice sounds so sexy.
une tuerie sa voix son timbre le plus beau au monde
0:08 sounds like 4 Minutes
💘 u 👑!
cuando oldonna quizo hacer trip hop y le salio putamente fantastico!
oldonna pero TRIUNFADORAAAA A SUS 60 AÑOS LLENA ESTADIOS Y TEATROS Y VENDE COLOSALMENTE
Uwielbiam! Madonna jest genialna
Adorable song ever
Always ahead!
Remix Video!!!
move back.
move back.
my life. US Navy.
i give a life.
eyebrows.
get your heart in order.
i don't want you.
Enjoy the song by all means but, please don't credit Herbie Hancock. Google "Hindewhu". This "beat" is an appropriation and bastardization of music from Central Africa originally recorded by two ethnomusicologists and later sampled by Bill Summers, percussionist of Herbie Hancock. When asked if the population known (unfortunately) as the Pygmy people should be compensated, Hancock invoked a sense of "kinship" to no benefit of the Pygmy population.
Wed god wel. Vary beudifol song. And i go to slip.
if i could choose Madanna, i would. if are hearts could meld.
all of these other women? i don't know.
an empty heart. i choose my woman.
hey, i do my own thing. thank you, woman.
yes, i see you. not right now. ok .
THAT ALBUM IS AN ICON, WORDS AND MIX TAKES YOU TO YOUR OWN SANCTUARY VERY REVITALIZING
Such an amazing song !
Thank you
adorei essa música!!!!
yes. 👑💗
Who miss this music in 2017?
I miss this in 2019...
How can you miss it when you're listening it??
You are missing the past not the music which is timeless.
This song contains all the main themes and motifs that would reappear in "Ray of Light". It's a bridge to Madonna's subsequent spiritual transformation. Madly in love with this track.
You are absolutely right. The vibe of the song, the electronic background and her voice is really an embryo of what you hear in Ray of Light. Absolutely amazing.
So on point, yes, and then Bedtime Story. Perfect segue.
Close ur eyes
Herbie Hancock Whatermelon Man
I definitely love this song, so deep and thoughtful, it`s like New Age style! It feels like being in a forest or something like that.
Beautiful voice and lyrics.
Great song and great vibe!
That Herby Hancock beat in the back (the wind instrument) was taken from an African tribe. Very cool ethnomusic trivia!
great and relaxing song
has a native american undertone to it in my opinion. great song for passionate sex along with this entire album. love it.
Gosh this one's dreary too ...
One of my favourite casettes as Teenager
Love it, this song is a precious poem dedicated to nature, God and love.
Bedtime Stories, Ray Of Light and Music are the best pop albums I've ever heard...
She is irreplaceable as an artist...
this Samples Water Melon Man by Herbie Hancock
love this album!
Great use of Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon man"
really all songs from the album are very goods! 👌
An incredibly sexy song
sounds like this song would fit better on ray of light album
great i most love only thix song
I love this song!!
Inusual esta cancion se paso
One of my absolute favorite Madonna tracks. It induces a trance in me every time! Bedtime Stories is so sorely underrated.
yeaaaaah! bedtime sounds actually like a mantra! adore inside of me too.
Couldn't agree more. Bedtime Stories is brilliant.
she did trip hop before trip hop was a genre, but before this, enigma did trip hop, but deeper, as much as i love madonna, she did rip enigma off, and this song is an enigma rip off
Madonna actually acknowledges she was inspired and borrowed by several artist in the album.
One of my life long favorites ! love it <3
When I hear this album I think of Madonna as the female Prince she perfected this one every note every voice!
+Chauncey Daugherty Wow, such a crazy comment now that he is dead now.
I had a tape and after 4:55 this was a trip ! Here it stops , so cruel.
This is one of my favorite Madonna songs. This song should have been on Ray Of Light not this album
This is really one of Madonna's must beautiful songs
i listened to every song on this cd and its official: I FREAKIN LOVE IT! im gonna definitely buy it when i get the chance! :D
Did u get a chance yet
is anyone really listening to the words of this song...they're fucking beautiful
i have never heard anything like this before... madonna is such a fucking great singer
Yago Valle Take A Bow was one of her best with Backing Vocals from Babyface
It's the most underrated Madonna songs ever. Not just the lyrics, but her voice, the mixing, even the transition to Bedtime Story at the end. It's probably my favorite Madonna song of all time.

And the earth was void and empty
And darkness was upon the face of the earth
not beautiful, obsessive for sure, but who doesn't know that address?
