Lyrics

Some (C)where be tween the hot and the cold,

some (Am7)where be tween the new and the old, and the light,

some (G5)where be tween who I am and who I used to be,

(C)some where in the mid dle you’ll find me.

Some (C)where be tween the wrong and the right,

some (Am7)where be tween the dark and ness old, and the light,

some (G5)where be tween who I was and who You’re mak ing me,

(C)some where in the mid dle you’ll find me.

Some me.

Just how close (Am7)can I get, Lord, to my sur ren der

with out los ing all con trol?

Fear less war riors in a pick et fence, reck less a ban don wrapped in com mon sense, deep wa ter faith in the shal low end,

we are caught in the mid dle

with eyes wide o pen to the dif f’renc es, the God we want and the God who is.

But will we trade our dreams for His, or are we caught in the mid dle?

Are we caught in the mid dle?

Some (C)where be tween my heart and my hands,

some (Am7)where be tween my faith and my plans,

some (Gsus)where be tween the safe ty of the boat and the crash ing waves,

some (C)where be tween a whis per and a roar,

some (Am7)where be tween the al tar and the door,

some (Gsus)where be tween con tent ed peace and al ways want ing more,

(C)some where in the mid dle You’ll find me.

Just how close can I get, Lord, to my sur ren der

with out los ing all con trol?

Fear less war riors in a pick et fence, reck less a ban don wrapped in com mon sense, deep wa ter faith in the shal low end,

we are caught in the mid dle

With eyes wide o pen to the dif f’renc es, the God we want and the God who is.

But will we trade our dreams for His, or are we caught in the mid dle?

Fear less war riors in a pick et fence, reck less a ban don wrapped in com mon sense, deep wa ter faith in the shal low end,

we are caught in the mid dle

With eyes wide o pen to the dif f’renc es, the God we want and the God who is.

But will we trade our dreams for His, or are we caught in the mid dle?

or are we caught in the mid dle?

Lord, I feel You in this place, and I know You’re by my side, lov ing me e ven on these nights

when I’m caught in the mid dle.

I’m caught in the mid dle.
