A fence divides a people A people divide themselves Trying not to lose hope When you've lost everything else A fence divides a people Changing a way of life I can't understand I can't seem to justify
<i>[Chorus:]</i> Why someone would build a fence Tell me to choose a side Take away my freedom And expect me not to fight
Trying to stop what you haven't started You're sleeping for someone else's dream Trying to find the truth It gets too hard to believe
A house cannot stand When it's people are on their knees It' no way to live It's no way to be free
<i>[Chorus]</i>
Stand, Don't walk away It's just another way To keep us fighting amongst ourselves The only thing holding up a wall Are the people who don't tear it down
<i>[Chorus]</i>
They're fencing in the horizons We'll still be here tomorrow But when you've lost your dreams Your freedom will follow A fence divides a people A people divide themselves The only thing holding up a wall Are the people who don't tear it down
