 In the middle of the Gnight
 I go walking in my Gsleep
 from the mountains of Cfaith
 to a river so Ddeep
 I must be looking for Gsomething
 something sacred I Glost
 But the river is Cwide
 and it's too hard to Dcross
EmAnd even thought I knew the Driver is wide
 I walk down Cevery evening and I Amstand on the shore
EmAnd try to cross to the Dopposite side
 So I can Amfinally find out what I've been Dlooking for
 In the middle of the Gnight
 I go walking in my Gsleep
 Through the valley of Cfear
 to a river so Ddeep
 And I've been searching for Gsomething
 taken away of my Gsoul
 Something I would never Close
 something somebody Dstole
EmI don't know why I go Dwalking at night
 But now I'm Ctired and I don't Amwalk anymore
EmI hope it doesn't take the Drest of my life
 Until I Amfind what it is I've been Dlooking for
 In the middle of the Gnight
 I go walking in my Gsleep
 Through the jungle of Cdoubt
 to a river so Ddeep
 I know I'm searching for Gsomething
 something so Gundefined
 That it only can be Cseen
 by the eyes of a Dblind
 In the middle of the Gnight
EmI'm not sure about life after Dthis
 god knows CI've never been a Amspiritual man
EmBabtized by the fire, I Amwade into the river
 That Amturns to be the Dpromised land
 In the middle of the Gnight
 I go walking in my Gsleep
 Through the desert of Ctruth
 to a river so Ddeep
 We're all land in the Gocean
 we all start in the Gstreams
 We're all carried Calong
 by the river of Ddreams
 In the middle of the Gnight
