(Verse 1)
I’ve been carrying this weight
Cause it’s mine and mine alone,
Smiling when they ask me
If I’m doing okay.
But there’s pain behind these eyes
That nobody ever sees,
And tonight I’m tired of fighting
The man I’m supposed to be.
(Pre-Chorus)
I wanna be found.
I need to be set free.
(Chorus)
I wanna talk to the Man in the middle,
The one who knows what sorrow weighs.
The one who hung there with His arms wide open
While everyone there looked away.
I don’t need an answer,
I don’t need to understand.
I just need salvation from His pierced hands.
So tonight I wanna talk
To the Man in the middle again.
(Verse 2)
I’ve got questions I’ve been saving,
I’ve got tears I never shed.
I’ve got prayers that never made it
Past the ceiling over my head.
Maybe He can hear the silence
When I don’t know what to pray.
Maybe He can see the pieces
I’ve been hiding every day.
(Pre-Chorus)
’Cause He knows what it feels like
To be broken and alone,
To have the weight of the world
And nowhere left to go.
(Chorus)
I wanna talk to the Man in the middle,
The one who knows what sorrow weighs.
The one who hung there with His arms wide open
While everyone there looked away.
I don’t need an answer,
I don’t need to understand.
I just need salvation from His pierced hands.
So tonight I wanna talk
To the Man in the middle again.
(Bridge)
If You can hear me through this darkness,
I’m not asking You for much.
Just sit with me a little while,
‘Cause tonight I need Your touch.
I know You carried suffering
Long before I knew my name.
Maybe that’s why when I’m hurting,
I still whisper this prayer just the same…
(Final Chorus)
I wanna talk to the Man in the middle,
The one who knows what sorrow weighs.
The one who chose to stay upon that cross
When He could’ve walked away.
I don’t need a miracle,
I don’t need to know the plan.
I just need to know I’m not alone
So I’m reaching through the darkness
For the Man in the middle again.
I’m looking to the man in middle.
I know he can set me free.
I know he can,
Cause he was up there,
For me.
