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
[Chorus:]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
