Album: Blow Your Cool

Middle Of The Land

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land

You´ll see something that´s new in the sunshine
You´ll be the winter that´s turning to springtime

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land

Someday someone will try to confuse you.
They´ll say things you want to hear and they´ll use you.
I thought we´d live and learn
But some folks seem to yearn
For values unsophisticated.
Those days are dead and gone
I won´t wish them back upon
A world that´s much more complicated.

Here I stand in the middle of my ...
Take my hand, I´m always glad to lend a hand.

They´ll try to blind you with T.V. religion.
Don´t buy their hand-me-down second - opinions.
Sometimes the biggest lies
Are most easily disguised,
Dressed up like the Road To Glory,
Then somewhere down the line
You´ll rub your eyes and find
You´re on a path to your own Purgatory.

You´ll know something as old as the moonlight,
You´ll throw superstition and fear away tonight.
They´ll paint us black and white,
They´ll paint us wrong and right,
They´ll paint us all into a corner.
They´ll try to cool us down
But they could never fool us now.
We´re steamed-up hotter than a Swedish Sauna!

Here I stand in the middle of the land
Take my, take my hand - your horizons will expand.
Land - in the middle, middle of the land
(Land on me.)
