This crazy planet is much like and me
If we're so similar why can't we agree
Please help me understand
Is there a master plan?
A path forward that we can't see
If we close the book
Won't take a second look
We'll just be choking on pride
We could mend fences
We could build bridges
Oceans between us
Would fade in the distance
Let down your guard
Lay down your arms
We could mend fences
If we could understand the universal truth
Our grace is from above and we're the living proof
This is the world we share
We're got no time to spare
Take some action, it's time to move
Never close the book
Take a second look
Don't be choking on pride
We could mend fences
We could build bridges
Oceans between us
Would fade in the distance
Let down your guard
Lay down your arms
We could mend fences
We could mend fences
What do we know
Sisters and brothers
Take care of each other
Let down your guard
Lay down your arms
We could mend fences
(Mending fences, you and me)
We could mend fences
Come on now, baby, it's alright
(Mending fences, you and me)
It's alright
(Mending fences, you and me)
We could mend fences
(Mending fences, you and me)
