Fence Line Prayer

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I lock the front door twice Still hear the night outside My mama taught me young A good man keeps his word [Verse 2] But I see them turn away When a woman needs a hand Too many choose a fence Over taking up a stand [Pre-Chorus] And I’m tired of that old fear Hanging in the air Tired of little girls Learning folks don’t care [Chorus] Where are the men Who will stand for a woman? Where are the hands That were made to protect? I’m still here Still asking for something Where are the men Who will stand for a woman? [Verse 3] I don’t want a war I just want to walk home Want my sisters to feel safe When the daylight’s gone [Verse 4] Want a voice that says I won’t let you be alone Want boots on the ground When the world feels hard as stone [Pre-Chorus] And I’m tired of that old fear Hanging in the air Tired of little girls Learning folks don’t care [Chorus] Where are the men Who will stand for a woman? Where are the hands That were made to protect? I’m still here Still asking for something Where are the men Who will stand for a woman? [Bridge] Maybe it starts with one At the edge of the room Who says, "I’ve got you now" And means it through and through No trophy, no parade Just a steady kind of grace A man who steps between And holds his place [Chorus] Where are the men Who will stand for a woman? Where are the hands That were made to protect? I’m still here Still asking for something Where are the men Who will stand for a woman?
