In the Middle

I remember it was later in December
When we got the call
Dead of winter cut deep like a splinter
From the weight of it all

When the news came
For me the hardest part of all
Was to see you sitting there
So brokenhearted

I'd forgotten how it felt
To hit the bottom when you suffer pain
It was like trying to run
A hundred miles in the pouring rain

But the truth is not even storms
Can kill this flame
My promise to you always remains

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there

And if pain is the ocean
You are swimming in
If I can't pull you out
I'm diving in

Never thought I could love anyone
The way that I loved you
And if it took my life
I'd fight to protect you, too

But I was helpless
And there was nothing I could do
So I'll just wrap
My arms around you and say

I believe that God was there
Watching over us
I believe He heard our prayers

He cried along with us
Even when our hearts are scared
He's closer than He seems
And I can hear Him sing

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there

And if pain is the ocean
You are swimming in
You can rest assured
That I'll be diving in

In the middle of the cold, dark night
In the middle it'll be all right
I will be there, I will be there

And when pain is the ocean
You are swimming in
Like I've done before, I'm diving in
I am diving, I am diving in
