Karaoké Back to the Middle India Arie

She is twenty five spent over half of her life

So afraid to speak her mind it's such a shame

'Cos all 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

Oh oh

He is a young black man grew up without his father

And now it falls into his hands to protect his mother

'Cos 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

'Cos they don't know no balance

When will they learn to come back to the middle

You gonna take the good with the bad and you might hit the wall

Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you will fall

There ain't no way to avoid the pain

But it's getting burned that's how you will learn

To come back to the middle oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Come back to the middle yeah hey hey

Yeah yeah

Needing to protect yourself 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 ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

When will we learn

To come back

To the middle when will we learn

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh come back to the middle

Come back to the middle come back to the middle

Yeah yeah don't make no mind about falling down

'Cos 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

Yeah you yeah yeah hey hey hey hey oh yeah

Yeah hey mmm mmm ooh
