India Arie - Back To The Middle Lyrics
She is, twenty five, spent over half of her lifeSo afraid to speak her mind, its such a shamecause what a brilliant mind she hasChorusAnd now shes been introduced to confidenceShe doesnt see, that she is bordering on arroganceWhen will she learn, to come back to the middleHe is, a young black man, grew up without his fatherAnd now it falls into his hands, to protect his mothercause if he doesnt, well then who will, his older brother lives in fearOf everything, especially, trying to fill his fathers shoesChorusRespectively, they go to extremes, of masculine and feminineChasing dreams, but they keep on fallingcause they dont know no balanceWhen will they learn, to come back to the middleBridgeYou must take the good with the bad, and you might hit the wallSometimes youll fly and sometimes youll fallThere isnt any way, to avoid the painBut its getting burned, thats how you will learnTo come back to the middleInstrumental breakChorusNeeding to protect your self now that is just a part of lifeIf you let your fears keep you from flying, you will never reach your heightTo get to the top you must come back to the middleWhen will we learn, to come back to the middleCome back to the middle, come back to the middleDont make no mind about falling downcause its when youre in that valleyYou can see both sides more clearlyCome back to the middle
