	Story Behind the Song My brother died in December 1998 in a truck accident. He was 37 years old. It was hard for me and my family to deal with it. This song came to me shortly after his passing, and putting these feelings into words was therapeutic. I recorded the song using the guitar that he painted for me. This one goes out to you, bro - wherever you are. Lyrics The man in the middle is gone But he meant so much to me A brother, a friend, a hero He was all of these things And more, so much more Than I ever realized when he was here Now he's on the outside, and we're in the middle He's looking at us through our tears The man in the middle has changed He's so high above us all now He was our bridge when we had to cross water But we've got to find a different way now He was the link between brothers Between parents and family and friends I can't begin to describe the place that I'm in Now that he has left But the man in the middle's now the man behind the scenes Not a puppet anymore, now he's pulling the strings And he gives me faith And hope for now And the courage and the strength to move on Whenever I remember that the man in the middle, the man in the middle is gone
