Lyrics

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

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

some (G)where be tween

who I am and (F)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 ness and the

some (G)where be tween

who I was and (F)who You’re mak ing me,

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

Some me.

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

Fear less war riors in a pick et (Am)fence, reck less a ban don wrapped in com mon (G)sense, deep wa ter faith in the shal low (F)end, we are caught in the mid dle

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

But will we trade our dreams for (F)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 (G)where be tween the safe ty of the (F)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 (G)where be tween con tent ed (C)peace and (F)al ways want ing more,

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

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

with out los ing (Am)all con (F)trol?

Fear less war riors in a pick et (Am)fence, reck less a ban don wrapped in com mon (G)sense, deep wa ter faith in the shal low (F)end, we are caught in the mid dle
