In the middle of the night 
I go walking in my sleep 
From the mountains of faith 
To a river so deep 

I must be looking for something 
Something sacred I lost 
But the river is wide 
And it's too hard to cross 

And even though I know the river is wide 
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore 
And try to cross to the opposite side 
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for 

In the middle of the night 
I go walking in my sleep 
Through the valley of fear 
To a river so deep 

And I've been searching for something 
Taken out of my soul 
Something I would never lose 
Something somebody stole 

I 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 that I've been looking for 

In the middle of the night 
I go walking in my sleep 
Through the jungle of doubt 
To a river so deep 

I know I'm searching for something 
Something so undefined 
That it can only be seen 
By the eyes of the blind 

In the middle of the night 

I'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  [bad word] to the promised land 

In the middle of the night 
I go walking in my sleep 
Through the desert of [bad word] 
To the river so deep 

We all end in the ocean 
We all start in the streams 
We're all carried along 
By the river of dreams 

In the middle of the night
