Lyrics
0:21She is twenty five spent over half of her life
0:32So afraid to speak her mind it's such a shame
0:39'Cause what a brilliant mind she has
0:43Chorus
0:44And now she's been introduced to confidence
0:53She doesn't see that she is bordering on arrogance
1:04When will she learn to come back to the middle
1:20He is a young black man grew up without his father
1:30And now it falls into his hands to protect his mother
1:38India Arie
1:39'Cause if he doesn't well then who will his older brother lives in fear
1:51Of everything especially trying to fill his father's shoes
2:00Chorus
2:01Respectively they go to extremes of masculine and feminine
2:12Chasing dreams but they keep on falling
2:17'Cause they don't know no balance
2:22When will they learn to come back to the middle
2:28Bridge
2:31You must take the good with the bad and you might hit the wall
2:37Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you'll fall
2:42There isn't any way to avoid the pain
2:47But it's getting burned that's how you will learn
2:51Instrumental Break
2:55Chorus
3:14Needing to protect your self now that is just a part of life
3:24If you let your fears keep you from flying you will never reach your height
3:35To get to the top you must come back to the middle
3:45When will we learn to come back to the middle
4:11Come back to the middle Come back to the middle
4:20Don't make no mind about falling down
4:22'Cause it's when you're in that valley
4:25You can see both sides more clearly
4:31Come 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 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 India Arie '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 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
