Broken fences shall I mend
Nail and hammer in my hand
Flaws and splinters left to fend
Oh forgiveness be my friend

Till the soil come dig the earth
Destiny come mine at birth
One false move did seal my fate
With these tools alleviate

Make me poor if tears my fee
Make me rich if if rich means free
Broken fences shall I mend
‘Til the gate swings right again

Broken fences shall I mend
Nail and hammer in my hand
Flaws and splinters left to fend
Oh forgiveness be my friend

Make me poor with tears my fee
Make me rich if if rich means free
Broken fences shall I mend
‘Til the gate swings right again
