There's a man down the road who built his fences tall
Says he likes the quiet, don't need nobody at all
He tends a little garden, keeps his curtains drawn
Won't look his neighbor in the eye come Sunday morn
His daddy taught him how to lock the gate
How to measure worth by what you separate
How small the world becomes when you board up all the windows
To the sun when you're holding on to fear like it's the only truth you know
Building walls around your heart until you're living there alone
The view looks different when you're standing on the other side
But you gotta want to see it, you gotta open up your eyes
There's a woman at the market with her bible and her sign
Says she knows the righteous path, been walking it her whole life
She don't hear the cries of those she's casting out
Just the echo of her own voice getting loud
Her God's got gates and locks and rules
But love don't need no vestibule
How small the world becomes when you board up all the windows
To the sun when you're holding on to fear like it's the only truth you know
Building walls around your heart until you're living there alone
The view looks different when you're standing on the other side
But you gotta want to see it, you gotta open up your eyes
I used to think like that when I was young
Thought the world was simple, every battle won or lost
My old friend sat me down one April day
Said,"Child, the older that you get, the less you'll claim to know
The wisest folks I've met ain't certain of a thing
Except that everybody's trying, everybody's scared, everybody bleeds
We're all just trying to make it through with our scars and our stories
Our different shades of blue
But we keep drawing lines like they'll protect us from the pain
When the only thing they do is keep the healing away
There's a child asking questions that we don't want to hear
About why some people got plenty while others disappear
We tell her,"Hush now, it's more complicated than you think"
Or maybe it's just simpler than we want it to be
Maybe love's the only answer that we need
And we're just scared of what that means
How small the world becomes when you board up all the windows
To the sun when you're holding on to fear like it's the only truth you know
Building walls around your heart until you're living there alone
The view looks different when you're standing on the other side
But you gotta want to see it, you gotta open up your eyes
You gotta open up your eyes
Open, gotta open, open up
You gotta open up
Open up
You gotta open up your eyes
Open, open, let the light in, let the light in
Before the walls get so high
You forget there's a sky
