Fences Lyrics

Fences lyrics

J. Varnadeau, A.S. Foster  

  Romans 14, Galatians 5:13-15  

  You like your fence a picket white  

  With a gate that opens wide  

  I keep mine brown the natural kind  

  Not always pretty to the eye  

  But I cannot demand that you would do  

  the same  

  And I don't have to like your choice or  

  color of paint  

  CHORUS  

  'Cause your fences are not mine  

  My fences are not yours  

  Why do we have them anyway  

  I couldn't ask anymore from you  

  Than to stay within the city of truth  

  Why do we have them anyway  

  These Fences  

  You've set your boundaries I've set mine  

  We've drawn the line  

  You've kept your guard up I've kept mine  

  We think we're safe inside  

  Until we find the walls that once  

  surrounded and protected  

  Are the walls that now divide  

  BRIDGE  

  There is freedom within the city  

  But there's so much more freedom when  

  the fences are down
