[Verse 1] Sat round the table, stories in the smoke, Dad said, let the world see who you are. He came home tired, wore the weight, never broke, Taught us rising means bearing a scar. Parking lot lessons, trust slowly grown, Their eyes on him, but he stood tall and known. [Verse 2] If you’ve always seen past the fence, You can’t feel the cold on the other side. Keeping balance on a rock feeling tense, Wondering why some must hide. We’re taught to walk thin lines, To hold our breath through tougher times. [Pre-Chorus] But voices break patterns, Courage demands space. We start breaking the cycle With each honest face. [Chorus] Build the trust, tear the fences down, Let the rocks crumble on the ground. Our stories, our hope — let the world adjust, Every soul deserves to be found. It’s not just about changing minds — It’s letting every heart belong. [Instrumental] [Verse 3] We are canaries, singing warnings in the mine, Bearing the brunt before the world even knows. But I’ll wear my own name, draw my own line, Be you, the world will adjust — so it goes. Learned to trust the kindness we sow; Change takes time, but tides overflow. [Bridge] You can build your world on kindness, Or keep the walls you’ve known. But if you never look at fences, You’ll miss the seeds you’ve grown. Justice is a garden — You have to believe it’s your own. [Final Chorus] Build the trust, tear the fences down, Let the rocks crumble on the ground. Bring your whole self, let the world adjust, Every soul deserves to be found. Lift each other when we feel alone — No one should bear the weight alone. [Instrumental]
