In The Middle

(album: Clear The Stage - 2012)

I remember it was later in December when we got the call
Dead of winter cut deep like a splinter from the weight of it all
When the news came, for me the hardest part of all
Was to see you sitting there so brokenhearted

I'd forgotten how it felt to hit the bottom when
you suffer pain
It was like trying to run a hundred miles in the pouring rain
But the truth is not even storms can kill this flame
My promise to you always remains

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there
And if pain is the ocean you are swimming in
If I can't pull you out, I'm diving in

Never thought I could love anyone the way that I loved you
And if it took my life I'd fight to protect you, too
But I was helpless and there was nothing I could do
So I'll just wrap my arms around you and say

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there
And if pain is the ocean you are swimming in
If I can't pull you out, I'm diving in

I believe that God was there
Watching over us
I believe He heard our prayers
He cried along with us
Even when our hearts are scared
He's closer than He seems
And I can hear Him sing

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there
And if pain is the ocean you are swimming in
You can rest assured that I'll be diving in

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there
And when pain is the ocean you are swimming in
Like I've done before, I'm diving in

I am diving
I am diving in
