Back To The Middle
She is, twenty five, spent over half of her life
So afraid to speak her mind, itÔÇÖs such a shame
ÔÇÿCause what a brilliant mind she has
Chorus
And now sheÔÇÖs been introduced to confidence
She doesnÔÇÖt see, that she is bordering on arrogance
When will she learn, to come back to the middle
He is, a young black man, grew up without his father
And now it falls into his hands, to protect his mother
ÔÇÿCause if he doesnÔÇÖt, well then who will, his older brother lives in fear
Of everything, especially, trying to fill his fatherÔÇÖs shoes
Chorus
Respectively, they go to extremes, of masculine and feminine
Chasing dreams, but they keep on falling
ÔÇÿCause they donÔÇÖt know no balance
When will they learn, to come back to the middle
You must take the good with the bad, and you might hit the wall
Sometimes youÔÇÖll fly and sometimes youÔÇÖll fall
There isnÔÇÖt any way, to avoid the pain
But itÔÇÖs getting burned, thatÔÇÖs how you will learn
To come back to the middle
Chorus
Needing to protect your self now that is just a part of life
If you let your fears keep you from flying, you will never reach your height
To get to the top you must come back to the middle
When will we learn, to come back to the middle
Come back to the middle, Come back to the middle
DonÔÇÖt make no mind about falling down
ÔÇÿCause itÔÇÖs when youÔÇÖre in that valley
You can see both sides more clearly
Come back to the middle
