Middle Ground

MIDDLE GROUND

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018

YOU DO YOUR THING

YOU PLAY YOUR PART

KINGDOMS FALL AND NEW ONES START

THE MORE YOU LIVE

THE MORE YOU KNOW

THE MORE YOU KNOW

 THE MORE YOU HATE

SO MUCH THAT ISN'T REAL

TOO MANY PHONY PEOPLE

CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH

TRULY MISGUIDED YOUTH

CAN'T DO A THING

SO I'M ON MY WAY

SOMEWHERE NOT HERE

WHERE THE AIR MOVES

AND THE SKY IS CLEAR

BUT MOST OF ALL

THERE'S NO ONE NEAR

IT'S JUST HER AND I 

IT'S JUST THE SIMPLE LITTLE THINGS

THAT ALL THIS BRINGS

THE PATH IS EVER CHANGING

WITHIN THE CONFINES OF TIME

YOU FIND YOURSELF IN PLACES

YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D BE

AS YOU LOOK BACK AND WONDER

HOW YOU GOT THERE

 GOT SO TURNED AROUND

I LOOKED AROUND FOR A PLACE

I THINK IT'S CALLED MIDDLE GROUND

BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND IT

I LOOKED ALL AROUND

SO I HEADED WEST AGAIN

IT ALWAYS MADE SO MUCH SENSE

THE SIGHT OF THE MOUNTAINS

AND THE CRYSTAL BLUE LAKES

SOMETIMES ITS A GIVEN

THAT'S ALL THAT IT TAKES

EVERY TIME THE SUN SHINES

WE GAIN A LITTLE GROUND

CELEBRATE ALL THE HAPPINESS

WE'VE FOUND

JUST KEEP DOING OUR THING

PLAYING OUR PART

WHILE KINGDOMS FALL

AND NEW ONES START
