I need peace, I need hope, I need guidance
I need more than myself
I need light, I need life, I need what I never felt

Sisters and brothers are picking sides
And both of our mothers are terrified
And I'm crying out to an empty sky
Tell me

If I hit the ground and I fall down to my knees
Would you hear the sound?
Am I crazy to think that we could make it out?
Am I crazier to believe there's a middle ground?

I'm so up, I'm so down, I'm so broken
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm not mine, I'm not yours, I'm not sure of anything

Ooh, sisters and brothers are picking sides
And both of our mothers are terrified
And I'm crying out to an empty sky
Tell me

If I hit the ground and I fall down to my knees
Would you hear the sound?
Am I crazy to think that we could make it out?
Am I crazier to believe there's a middle ground?

Middle ground, there's a middle ground
I don't need someone to love
I just need someone to live for
Middle ground, there's a middle ground
On my knees where I belong, please, tell me

If I hit the ground and I fall down to my knees
Would you hear the sound?
Am I crazy to think that we could ever make it out?
Am I crazier to believe there's a middle ground?

Middle ground, there's a middle ground (oh)
Am I crazier to believe there's a middle ground?
Middle ground, there's a middle ground (oh)
I need you to believe, oh, there's a middle ground
