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
