Lyrics

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

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

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Somewhere In The Middle" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 72 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
