(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

In the middle of the night (middle of the night)

I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)

From the mountains of faith (mountains of faith)

To the river so deep (river so deep)

I must be looking for something (looking for something)

Something sacred I lost (sacred I lost)

But the river is wide (is wide)

And it's too hard to cross (too hard to cross)

Even though I know the river is wide

I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore

I 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 (middle of the night)

I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)

Through the valley of fear (valley of fear)

To the river so deep (river so deep)

I've been searching for something (searching for something)

Taken out of my soul (taken out of my soul)

Something I would never lose (never lose)

Something somebody stole (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 (middle of the night)

I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)

Through the jungle of doubt (jungle of doubt)

To the river so deep (river so deep)

I know I'm searching for something (searching for something)

Something so undefined (so undefined)

That it can only be seen (only be seen)

By the eyes of a blind

In the middle of the night

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

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 is running to the promized land

In the middle of the night (middle of the night)

I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)

Through the desert of truth (desert of truth)

To a river so deep (river so deep)

We all end in the ocean (end in the ocean)

We all start in the streams (start in the streams)

We're carried along (carried along)

By the river of dreams

In the middle of the night

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)

(I go walking in my)

(In the middle of)
