Middle Ground - Rik Emmett

Middle Ground Lyrics

Times are strange seems like nothing lasts
We watch the changes go by so fast
We fear the future, and it makes up long for the past,
Over my head, I got in too deep
Weighted down with the promises I could not keep
Between a rock and a hard place no room to be found.
There ain’t no middle ground
There ain’t no middle ground
Everywhere you look some kind of war is going on
And no man’s land is never gonna stay that way for long,
Better climb off that fence boy, before somebody shoots you down,
Hey, they’re gonna shoot you down, and they’ll say
Hey boy, just who’s side are you on anyway
Well I haven’t got the heart to act my part out in their play
But in the end you got no choice, it’s the only game in town
There ain’t no middle ground
There ain’t no middle ground

So hard not to lose yourself along the way
Sometimes you gotta hold your breath and take that magic leap of faith
Last night I dreamed of a long forgotten place, high up on the hill,
The cool wind in my face
The air was clean and clear and I could see for miles around,
And in my heart I knew I had come home,
And in my soul there was a peace I’d never know,
And so I stake my claim to this sacred place I’ve found,
And I stand the middle ground
I stand the middle ground
