Song lyrics

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the 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,
Еven though I know the river is wide

I walk down every evening and stand on the shore,
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find 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,
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd 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 I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep,
Through the jungle of doubt
To the 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
That is running through the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep,
Through the desert of truth
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
