She is
Twenty-five
Spent over half of her life
So afraid
To speak her mind
It's such a shame
'Cause oh 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

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

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

You must take the good with the bad
And you might hit the wall
Sometimes you'll fly and sometimes you will 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

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
