In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deepI must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to crossEven though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking forIn the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deepI've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stoleI don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking forIn the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deepI know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blindIn the middle of the nightI'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised landIn the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deepWe all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreamsIn the middle of the night
