"Fences" lyrics

We stake our claim with a post in the ground
These invisible lines become real now
Become real now
We buy our piece of the promised land
For a bargain price and a shake of a hand
We misunderstand

That this was all ours all along
It's the very the same dirt we're standing on
So give what you get, cause that's
What lasts forever

Love is the breath of heaven
That shows me what's mine is yours
Love's tearing down these fences
To put gardens where they once were

Nail by nail, board by board
Swinging hammers just like swords
But tell me what for
With all this power in our hands
We try and disguise our weakness
Where the strength is

But this was all ours all along
It's the very same dirt we're standing on
So give what you get, cause that's
What lasts forever

Love is the breath of heaven
That shows me what's mine is yours
Love's tearing down these fences
To put gardens where they once were, were

Were

So, love, love, love somebody when it's hard to
Forgive, forgive, forgive somebody you don't want to

Love, love, love somebody when it's hard to
Forgive, forgive, forgive somebody you don't want to

Love is the breath of heaven
That shows me what's mine is yours
Love's tearing down these fences
To put gardens where they once were, were

Tearing down these fences
