Fences

This is the time that I would like to acknowledge
 All of those in our lives
 If we could take a moment, and just live up to it, own it
 That would be just fine
 Because they make these sacrifices
 Just to get us through the night
 And all of a sudden
 It's like, "Who turned off the lights?"
 And I look up to my mother
 And a tear comes to her eye
 But she will be alright
 (Alright, alright)
 (Alright, alright)
 (Alright, alright)
 (Alright, alright)
 And then she says
 Good enough
 Just won't make it
 Kid, you gotta take it
 Into your own hands
 Oh, my God
 It's making sense
 With all this time we're hangin' 'round
 Sittin' on the fences
 Good enough
 Just doesn't make it
 Kid, you gotta take it
 Into your own hands
 Oh, my God
 It's making sense
 With all this time we're hangin' 'round
 Sittin' on the fences
 The fences
 So take a look around you
 These people founded you from a conversation
 And how 'bout a holler for all of those who don't get bothered
 When you keep them waiting?
 What about that 7 a.m. call?
 Can you come get me at this place?
 And there's a hole in the rug
 From all the steps that you've been pacing
 And I look up to my father
 And I thank him for his patience
 I finally say it
 I think we'll make it
 We finally made it
 We finally made it
 And then he says
 Good enough
 Just doesn't make it
 Kid, you gotta take it
 Into your own hands
 Oh, my God
 It's making sense
 With all this time we're hangin' 'round
 Sittin' on the fences
 Good enough
 Just doesn't make it
 Kid, you gotta take it
 Into your own hands
 Oh, my God
 It's making sense
 With all this time we're hangin' 'round
 Sittin' on the fences
 The fences
 The fences
 The fences
