I wonder why life can't be written in invisible ink –
So all the errors wouldn't show up in indelible ink.
Questions unasked, and lessons unlearned
If I couldn't see them would I be so concerned?
White washing fences only covers decay.
White washing fences only divides us today.
White washing fences won't fool me at all.
White washed fences make faulty walls.
I wish my days would be written in invisible ink –
Too many dishes to wash in the sink.
To many chores and to many lures.
If I could ignore them I'd have learned so much more.
White washing fences only covers decay.
White washing fences only divides us today.
White washing fences won't fool me at all.
White washed fences make creaky walls.
I know my life is written in invisible ink –
So much talking – I need to learn to listen – to think.
So much worry over this and over that –
If I could let go it would be such a snap.
White washing fences only covers decay.
White washing fences only divides us today.
White washing fences won't fool me at all.
White washed fences make teetering walls.
Tear down my fences
Let me run free
Tear down my fences, as white as can be.
Tear down my fences
That tears us apart
Tear down the fences I build in my heart.
