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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
|
[Bridge]
|
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
|
|
[Instrumental Break]
|
|
[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
|
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
|
|
