India.Arie - 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 what a brilliant
mind she has
And now that 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
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
When will we learn
Come back to the middle
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
back to the middle
back to the middle
back to the middle
Come back to the middle
Come back to the middle
Come back to the middle
Come back Come back
Come back to the middle
