In The Middle Of The Night

In the middle of the night
When there’s no one else around
In the middle of the night
My knees come crashing to the ground

Oh I’ve walked a 1000 miles
I’ve smiled a 1000 smiles
Been to Germany and France
‘Crossed that great Atlantic

I’ve roamed the mountains of Canada
Gazed ‘cross skylines in Manhattan
Shook the hands of dignitaries
Queen of England,
Thank you, very much

But in the middle of the night
When there’s no one else around
In the middle of the night
My knees come crashing to the ground

I rise to their thunderous applause
Sign my published books for hours
Confide in the powerful
Being the confidant
Of a country’s
President

But in the middle of the night
All that
Fades
To black

In the middle of the night
When there’s no one else around
Nothing
Not a sound

Only the washing of Your Grace
The seeking of Your Face
I fall
Down
Before You

All that fades to black
In the middle of the night
