The Middle Of Your Day[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]Over the hill, you see The middle of your day And the Sun says, “It’s time For you to go your way” [Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron] Go and tell your momma That you now know what to do Her love will come in handy She’s always seen you through [Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron] But there’s no one here to guide you You got to do it by yourself Minutes fail you day by day And there’s really nothing else [Verse 4: Gil Scott-Heron] Where were you all morning? Dodging life inside your heart Never daring face the dangers Then attack right from the start [Verse 5: Gil Scott-Heron] Go and tell your daddy He was right in what he said ‘Cause the laws of independence Don’t apply until you’re dead [Verse 6: Gil Scott-Heron] And though you’d like him here to push you ‘Cause you feel a need for help Minutes fail you day by day And there’s really nothing else [Verse 7: Gil Scott-Heron] How long must we live inside Chains that anchor us to fear? How long must we justify When there’s really nothing here? [Verse 8: Gil Scott-Heron] It’s the middle of your day, yeah Wake up to the middle of your day, yeah Why don’t you welcome the middle of your day, yeah |
