India.arie - Back To The Middle lyrics

She is, twenty five, spent over half of her life So afraid to speak her mind, it's such a shame Cause what a brilliant mind she has [Chorus] And now she's been introduced to confidence She doesn't 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 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 falling Cause they don't 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 you'll fly and sometimes you'll fall There isn't any way, to avoid the pain But it's getting burned, that's how you will learn To come back to the middle 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 Don't make no mind about falling down Cause it's when you're in that valley You can see both sides more clearly Come back to the middle
