In the Middle
Embracing the Present: Mark Francis' 'In the Middle' Reveals the Beauty of Now
Lyrics
If I have found the way to go
Finding the path forward
Then I know there’s a lot I don’t know
Awareness of unknowns despite progress
Deep breaths are my dollars and cents
Valuing calmness and composure as valuable assets
They fill me up so I am never spent
Finding renewal and sustenance in calming practices
You’re leaning towards the light
Being drawn towards positivity
But you can’t escape your mind
The inability to escape one's thoughts or worries
Instead of being high or being low
Choosing neutrality over extreme emotional states
I’ll wait right here in the middle
Opting to remain balanced and centered
I stare at broken shards of the past
Reflecting on past experiences
But look too long and they’re gonna last
Being cautious about dwelling too long on past regrets
And I can’t forsee tomorrow like a painting
Inability to predict the future with certainty
Still unborn, the colors unfolding
Future possibilities unfolding like colors in a painting
You’re leaning towards the light
Attraction towards positivity despite mental constraints
But you can’t escape your mind
Struggle to escape one's thoughts or worries
Instead of being high or being low
Choosing balance over extremes of emotion
I’ll wait right here in the middle
Commitment to staying centered
This moment’s greater than earlier or later
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment
I can’t help but stumble in the waiting
Difficulty coping while waiting for events to unfold
Live in the past and you’ll find that you’re a stranger
Feeling disconnected by living too much in the past
In your own home
Feeling alienated from one's own present due to past focus
This moment’s greater than earlier or later
Reiterating the significance of the current moment
Today is something to savor
Appreciating the value of today
This moment’s greater than earlier or later
Emphasizing the importance of the present moment (repeated)
I’ll rest in that
Choosing to find peace in the current moment
You’re leaning towards the light
Attraction towards positivity despite mental constraints (repeated)
But you can’t escape your mind
Struggle to escape one's thoughts or worries (repeated)
Instead of being high or being low
Choosing balance over extremes of emotion (repeated)
I’ll wait right here in the middle
Commitment to staying centered (repeated)
Oh, woah
Expressing determination to remain in the middle
I’ll wait right here
Reiterating commitment to staying centered (repeated)
