 In  the middle of the night I go  walking in my sleep
 from  the mountains of faith  to a river so deep
 I must  be looking for something something  sacred I lost
 But  the river is wide and it's  too hard to cross
 And  even thought I knew the river  is wide
 I walk  down every evening  and I stand on the shore
 And  try to cross to the opposite  side
 So  I can finally find out what I've been  looking for
 In  the middle of the night I go  walking in my sleep
 Through  the valley of fear  to a river so deep
 And  I've been searching for something  taken away of my soul
 Something  I would never lose  something somebody stole
 I don't  know why I go walking  at night
 But  now I'm tired and I  don't walk anymore
 I hope  it doesn't take the rest  of my life
 Until  I find what it is I've been  looking for
 In  the middle of the night I go  walking in my sleep
 Through  the jungle of doubt  to a river so deep
 I know  I'm searching for something  something so undefined
 That  it only can be seen by  the eyes of a blind
 In  the middle of the night
 I'm  not sure about life after this
 god  knows I've never been  a spiritual man
 Babtized  by the fire, I wade  into the river
 That  turns to be the  promised land
 In  the middle of the night I go  walking in my sleep
 Through  the desert of truth  to a river so deep
 We're  all land in the ocean we  all start in the streams
 We're  all carried along by  the river of dreams
 In  the middle of the night
 Always look on the bright side of life !

In[G] the middle of the night I [G]go walking in my sleep

fr[C]om the mountains of fa[D]ith to a river so deep

I [G]must be looking for something s[G]omething sacred I lost

Bu[C]t the river is wide and it's[D] too hard to cross

An[Em]d even thought I knew the rive[D]r is wide

I [C]walk down every evenin[Am]g and I stand on the shore

An[Em]d try to cross to the oppo[D]site side

So[Am] I can finally find out what I've [D]been looking for

In[G] the middle of the night I [G]go walking in my sleep

Th[C]rough the  valley of [D]fear to a river so deep

An[G]d I've been searching for som[G]ething taken away of my soul

So[C]mething I would never lose[D] something somebody stole

I [Em]don't know why I go walk[D]ing at night

Bu[C]t now I'm tired and [Am]I don't walk anymore

I [Em]hope it doesn't take the rest[D] of my life

Un[Am]til I find what it is I've b[D]een looking for

In[G] the middle of the night  I [G]go walking in my sleep

Th[C]rough the jungle of do[D]ubt to a river so deep

I [G]know I'm searching for so[G]mething something so undefined

Th[C]at it only can be seen b[D]y the eyes of a blind

In[G] the middle of the night

I'[Em]m not sure about life after this[D]

go[C]d knows I've never b[Am]een a spiritual man

Ba[Em]btized by the fire, I wade[Am] into the river

Th[Am]at turns to be the[D] promised land

In[G] the middle of the night I [G]go walking in my sleep

Th[C]rough the desert of tr[D]uth to a river so deep

We[G]'re all land in the ocean we[G] all start in the streams

We[C]'re all carried along by[D] the river of dreams

In[G] the middle of the night

Always look on the bright side of life !
