In The 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 the land
Take my hand in the middle of the land
Here I stand in the middle of the land
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 will 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.
Here I stand in the middle, middle of the land
Land - in the middle, middle of the land
(Land on me.)
