Lyrics The Middle of Your Day - 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"
Go
and
tell
your
mama
That
you
now
know
what
to
do
Her
love
will
come
in
handy
She's
always
seen
you
through
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
Where
were
you
all
morning?
Dodging
life
inside
your
heart
Never
daring
face
to
danger
Then
attack
right
from
the
start
Go
and
tell
your
daddy
He
was
right
in
what
he
said
'Cause
the
laws
of
independence
Don't
apply
until
you're
dead
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
How
long
must
we
live
inside?
Chains
that
anchors
us
to
fear
How
long
must
we
just
sit
by?
When
there's
really
nothing
here
It's
the
middle
of
your
day
Wake
up
to
the
middle
of
your
day
Why
don't
you
welcome?
The
middle
of
your
day
