[00:21.790]She is, twenty five, spent over half of her life
[00:32.940]So afraid to speak her mind, it's such a shame
[00:39.350]'Cause what a brilliant mind she has
[00:43.840]Chorus
[00:44.200]And now she's been introduced to confidence
[00:53.740]She doesn't see, that she is bordering on arrogance
[01:04.360]When will she learn, to come back to the middle
[01:20.030]He is, a young black man, grew up without his father
[01:30.220]And now it falls into his hands, to protect his mother
[01:38.890]India.Arie
[01:39.390]'Cause if he doesn't, well then who will, his older brother lives in fear
[01:51.500]Of everything, especially, trying to fill his father's shoes
[02:00.900]Chorus
[02:01.550]Respectively, they go to extremes, of masculine and feminine
[02:12.060]Chasing dreams, but they keep on falling
[02:17.570]'Cause they don't know no balance
[02:22.390]When will they learn, to come back to the middle
[02:28.950]Bridge
[02:31.250]You must take the good with the bad, and you might hit the wall
[02:37.020]Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you'll fall
[02:42.560]There isn't any way, to avoid the pain
[02:47.000]But it's getting burned, that's how you will learn
[02:51.500]Instrumental Break
[02:55.590]Chorus
[03:14.830]Needing to protect your self now that is just a part of life
[03:24.500]If you let your fears keep you from flying, you will never reach your height
[03:35.660]To get to the top you must come back to the middle
[03:45.930]When will we learn, to come back to the middle
[03:59.690]
[04:11.260]Come back to the middle, Come back to the middle
[04:20.820]Don't make no mind about falling down
[04:22.880]'Cause it's when you're in that valley
[04:25.860]You can see both sides more clearly
[04:28.330]
[04:31.250]Come back to the middle
