great prompt - something i felt like saying
i was a a bit time poor so only one take on the vocals
might be worth more works
V1 Empires come and empires go
Whether thay are big or small
But Then Like humty dumpty
They all burn and fall
V2 People with a lot to say
Spouting a different view
telling you they are right
And the others are not true
C The truth often lies in between
Its the one without malice
It meets the needs of everyone
Its just pure simple balance
V3 Somewhere the right meets left
The muslim meets the christian
They all sit down together
Try to break the friction
V4 Tolerance is needed now
Not platudes and fads
The children need to learn some
From there mums and dads
C The truth often lies in between
Its the one without malice
It meets the needs of everyone
Its just pure simple balance
B In the end its balance
The needs of everyone
Not just the righteous and the strong
But yes for everyone
C The truth often lies in between
Its the one without malice
It meets the needs of everyone
Its just pure simple balance

Calming music and peace words. How relaxing.

This is one of my favourites of yours. Just thinking about the world events on stage in the Ukraine today. I shake my head and wonder. and feel for the people caught in the middle of it. #tit4tat3

The grey area is given the tribute it deserves. Too often these are the things we pretend aren't there in favor of good ol' everything's-black-or-white arguments.

Really powerful message wrapped up in a mellow, laid-back vibe. The lyrics are so true and heartfelt.
@andygetch Feb 2022
Wonderful message and song start with the prompt! I hope that this one gets the attention you feel it needs.
@wacha Feb 2022
Great take on the prompt! I love the softness you give to a social issue. Very nice work, skirmish or not.
@davidtaro Feb 2022
One take for the win - pretty damn good take, John. Hope you feel better soon though! ‘The truth lies in between’ - 100%. Great take on the prompt.

I like that you've really chosen to highlight the vocal delivery to keep the message front and centre. Really different take on "balance" to most I've seen, really like taking it to such a big place! Your voice is perfect for the calm relaxed groove, feels safe and warm

Lovely musical setting for an important lyrical message. Very nicely done - great skirmishing!
@vivalarayna Feb 2022
I like your interpretation of the prompt and this easygoing melody suits the message very well. "Not just the righteous and the strong" is where it's at, isn't it?
@mikehex Feb 2022
The easy going delivery on this is perfect for the theme and message.
@kevinmason Feb 2022
Great message. Such a balance feels as hard to find as ever. I enjoy the slow, mellow pace of the song.
@keithcuts Feb 2022
i like that malice and balance rhyme
tough to work with "balance" in a rhyme sense so kudos.
smooth track and timing on the vocals
you made your point of view clear too
nice work

I did a book study on finding gray in a world of black and white. This lyric hits many of its points. Nice lyric and I enjoyed the gentle delivery.
