In the middle of the night
|
I go walking in my sleep
|
From the mountains of faith
|
To a river so deep
|
I must be looking for something
|
Something sacred I lost
|
But the river is wide
|
And it's too hard to cross
|
|
And even though I know the river is wide
|
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
|
And try to cross to the opposite side
|
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
|
|
In the middle of the night
|
I go walking in my sleep
|
Through the valley of fear
|
To a river so deep
|
And I've been searching for something
|
Taken out of my soul
|
Something I would never lose
|
Something somebody stole
|
|
I don't know why I go walking at night
|
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
|
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
|
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
|
|
In the middle of the night
|
I go walking in my sleep
|
Through the jungle of doubt
|
To a river so deep
|
I know I'm searching for something
|
Something so undefined
|
That it can only be seen
|
By the eyes of the blind
|
In the middle of the night
|
|
I'm not sure about a life after this
|
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
|
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
|
That runs to the promised land
|
In the middle of the night
|
I go walking in my sleep
|
Through the desert of truth
|
To the river so deep
|
We all end in the ocean
|
We all start in the streams
|
We're all carried along
|
By the river of dreams
|
In the middle of the night
|
