Fences Lyrics

Jeni Varnadeau Fences

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
