Can a young man guitar in hand Change the whole world well I hope he can Cause that's my aim and I'll settle for nothing less But sometimes at only twenty-five It seems the whole world can pass you right on by Expecting apathy and laziness Here I'm standing in the middle I'll admit that it's a little intimidating and frustrating Much too old to not see problems Much too young to try and solve them Sometimes life can be a mystery somewhere in the middle And though I sing through a microphone I feel I have no voice and I stand alone Like my words are just falling on deaf ears So I hit my knees and I pray each day That You will guide my path and you'll create A man with wisdom far beyond his years Somewhere in the middle of this life Somewhere in the middle of my time
