Prompt / Lyrics
Granddad’s name on a courthouse wall Dust on his boots, pride in his drawl Mama prayed through overtime Said love beats fear every time We didn’t see it all the same But we knew how to talk it out Back when a front porch light Meant you were welcome now Somewhere in the middle of right and wrong Between the words and the tone We stopped listening to each other Started feeling all alone We came a long way, but we lost our way Chasing who’s to blame If we’re gonna make it back home It’s somewhere in the middle again We broke some chains, we changed some laws Made room for different dreams and flaws That’s a win worth holding tight Yeah, that part’s right But now every truth’s a battle cry Every screen’s a picket line We’re fighting for the last word Instead of fighting for time Somewhere in the middle of right and wrong Between the words and the tone We stopped listening to each other Started feeling all alone We came a long way, but we lost our way Chasing who’s to blame If we’re gonna make it back home It’s somewhere in the middle again It ain’t wrong to stand your ground Just don’t burn it down If loving this place means losing grace We missed the point somehow Somewhere in the middle of red and blue Between old faith and something new There’s still a place where hearts beat slow And neighbors still say hello We came a long way, we’re still okay If we don’t forget our name If we’re gonna make it back home It’s somewhere in the middle again Yeah, somewhere in the middle again
