Senna-Marie and Ryan Schultze - Fence Sitter

Power runs the land and people
I saw a child running up hill up hill
People run the land and power
I saw a child become a coward

One to the other she said
I think that it's a crime
For me to look in the mirror and keep
Passing on the lie
You got to
Get up, face up, stand up
Put your body
On the line

One to the other he said
Time is on my side
I think that speed is a killer when you're
Rushing to be right
You got to
Release, make peace, feel free
There's only so much
You can fight

Fence watcher, fence jumper
Which side of the wall, do you fall?
Fence sitter, fence quitter
Coins up and you know it's your call?
Fence joker, fence poker
You know you can't not choose
No you can't not choose in war

One to the other she said
I don't think you understand
You might not know any better
But the children will when we choose to take a stand
You see no one's immune
Tables could turn too soon for you
Greed and fear are a coward's tears

Fence watcher, fence jumper
Which side of the wall, do you fall?
Fence sitter, fence quitter
Coins up and you know it's your call?
Fence joker, fence poker
You know you can't not choose
No you can't not choose in war

One to the other he said
I think you're making assumptions
You're trying to change what I think
But my thoughts are not up for discussion
And all I'm trying to say is
There are other ways
To pay for yesterday
To break a cycles of pain you've got to
Change the game winning theirs
Won't win back your name

Trust is an idea
Faith is a wager
Truth is the story that I tell myself
So I can fall asleep
Can fall asleep

Fence watcher, fence jumper
Which side of the wall, do you fall?
Fence sitter, fence quitter
Coins up and you know it's your call?
Fence joker, fence poker
You know you can't not choose
No you can't not choose in war

Power runs the land and people
I saw a child running up hill up hill
People run the land and power
I saw a child become a coward
