Back to the Middle

[Intro]

Oh, oh, yeah

[Verse 1]

She is, 25

Spent over half of her life

So afraid to speak her mind

It's such a shame, 'cause oh, what a brilliant mind

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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, he lives in fear

Of everything, especially

Tryna 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 gotta 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

Come back to the middle, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

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 (Oh, oh, oh)

When will we learn, to come back to the middle?

When will we learn? Oh, oh, oh

Come back to the middle (Come back)

Come back to the middle (Come back)

Come back to the middle, yeah, yeah (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 (Come back)

Back to the middle (Come back)

Back to the middle (Come back to the middle)

Come back to the middle, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

(Come back to the middle) Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Come back) Yeah, yeah

(Come back) Yeah, yeah

(Come back to the middle)
