Middle Of The Music Lyrics

I came to a place in the middle of the music

Where I was having trouble singing the song

I was hot for the sound and I thought I could use it

But the mood had changed and something was wrong

I felt like a hiker halfway up the mountain

Sho discovers he don't like the view

I came to a place in the middle of the music

Where all I could think of was you

I came to a fork in the middle of the long road

I guess I must have missed the sign

Feeling the weight, I was hauling the wrong load

And serving the wrong color wine

I felt like the man in the mystic arena

choosing which door he would open

The lady or tiger?

In the middle of the music

My dreams and my heart were eloping

Surrounded by sounds that I couldn't decipher

My hot tired ears almost numb

All of my mentors had turned into vipers

That hissed at the sound of the drum

There was no turning back

There was no moving forward

Sinking in African sand

No treasure map

No end of the rainbow

No sweet harmony

And no band

I came to a place in the middle of the music

Where I was losing my place on the staff

Telling a joke about yesterday's news

It was hard to get someone to laugh

I felt like a child standing up for the first time

Who thought he had some place to go

Dancing for dimes in the middle of the music

Afraid that the speakers might blow

Surrounded by sounds that I couldn't decipher

My hot tired ears almost numb

All of my mentors had turned into vipers

That hissed at the sound of the drum

There was no turning back

There was no moving forward

Sinking in African sand

No treasure map

No end of the rainbow

No sweet harmony

And no band
