Story Behind The Song

This on just came to me one day and everyone comments on how it touches them deeply.

Song Description

A song about the struggle of life, the questions it poses and the paraodx of it all. It is a song for all of us who live life.

Lyrics

Somewhere Down the Middle

I always dodge the raindrops
to catch a glimmer of the sun.
Always out of breath, always on the run.

I dance among the shadows
trace their patterns in the light.
Living on the edge, staying out of sight.

CHORUS But somewhere down the middle
somewhere in between
on the edge of dreaming
there?s a place for me.
I can hear the angles calling as
I watch the devils cry.
If I can keep on moving
I know that I can learn to fly.

I sail between the hours
hoping time will loose its way
never fast enough, too many yesterdays.

I slip into the darkness
watch the stars as they come out.
Always looking in, always full of doubt.

CHORUS

When I look in to the mirror, what do I see?
A stranger?s face with empty eyes staring back at me.
Then, I look a little closer. How can it be?
I recognize those lonely eyes longing to be free.

I ride into the sunset
to find the prophet of the night
Always left behind, hiding in the light

I search among the ruins
for signs of future?s past.
It all turns to dust. Nothing ever lasts.

CHORUS
