Middle Man Lyrics

There was a mountain and there were three trees
There was a good man and there were two thieves
A man called Barabas was doomed for the tree
But Jesus took the middle one and Barabas went free
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free
A hill called Golgotha the place of a skull
No yellow flowers, no trees in bloom the scenery was so dull
Three crosses stood black and bold against a darkened sky
And not from pain but a broken heart that middle man died
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary
The middle man made it possible that I could go free.

Can't Fight The Moonlight

Probably Wouldn't Be This Way

The Right Kind Of Wrong

How Do I Live

But I Do Love You

There was a mountain and there were three trees 
There was a good man and there were two thieves 
A man called Barabas was doomed for the tree 
But Jesus took the middle one and Barabas went free 
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me 
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary 
The middle man made it possible that I could go free 
A hill called Golgotha the place of a skull 
No yellow flowers, no trees in bloom the scenery was so dull 
Three crosses stood black and bold against a darkened sky 
And not from pain but a broken heart that middle man died 
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me 
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary 
The middle man made it possible that I could go free 
I love that man in the middle because I know he first loved me 
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary 
The middle man made it possible that I could go free 
Praise to that man who died on Mount Calvary 
The middle man made it possible that I could go free.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
