[Verse 1] Something there is that breaks the stone, That lifts the frost and shakes the bone. The wall we build, year after year, Still falls apart when spring draws near. [Verse 2] We walk the line, one side apiece, Stacking silence, stone by piece. I joke about my apple trees, But you just nod and quote old creeds. [Chorus] πΆ βGood fences make good neighbors,β you say, But I wonder what weβre keeping away. Are we walling out pain or walling in fear? What if the truth wants to draw near? πΆ [Verse 3] Your hands are rough, your eyes are closed, You carry stones like ancient oaths. You wonβt go past your fatherβs word, But I hear something else unheard. [Bridge] πΆ Before I build, I want to know What Iβm protecting, what I let go. Is it cows or ghosts or pride I keep? Or just a fear too old, too deep? πΆ [Final Chorus] πΆ βGood fences make good neighbors,β you say, But I see the cracks in light of day. Something there is that wants it downβ A voice, a thaw, a softer ground. πΆ [Outro β Spoken or Sung] And still we mend, and still we part, Stone by stone, heart by heart.
