Fences Lyrics - Singles - Varnadeau Jeni

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
