Back to the Middle

She is twenty five, spent over half of her life

So afraid to speak her mind, it's such a shame

'Cause, oh what a brilliant mind she has

And now that she's been introduce to confidence

She doesn't see that she is bordering on arrogance

When will she learn to come back to the middle, oh

He is a young black man, grew up without his father

Now it falls into his hands to protect his mother

'Cause if he doesn't, well then who will?

His older brother lives in fear of everything

Especially trying to fill his father's shoes

Respectively, they go to extremes of masculine and feminine

Chasing dreams, but they keep on fallin'

'Cause they don't know no balance

When will they learn to come back to the middle

You gotta take the good with the bad

And you might hit the wall

Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you will fall

There ain't no way to avoid the pain

But it's gettin' burned, that's how you will learn

To come back to the middle

Come back to the middle, yeah

Needing to protect yourself, 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?

(When will we learn?)

Oh, come back to the middle (Come back)

Come back to the middle (Come back)

Come back to the middle, yeah (Come back to the middle)

Don't make no mind about fallin' down

'Cause it's when you're in that valley

You can see both sides more clearly

Back to the middle (Come back)

Back to the middle (Come back)

Back to the middle  (Come back to the middle)

Come back to the middle

(Come back to the middle) Yeah

(Come back) Yeah

(Come back) Yeah

(Come back to the middle) Yeah, ooh
