India Arie Lyrics
Song: Back To The Middle
Album: "Acoustic Soul" by India Arie
Song Text:
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
