I have walked a hundred miles

And cried a hundred tears

I've heard the sound of innocence

I lost throughout the years

And I've stumbled to my bed

In so many Hotel rooms

And forgot too many faces all too soon

And if you stand there and ask of me

How many lies I've been told

How many times I've been left out

in the cold

Don't fence me in don't leave me out

'Cos I don't know what life's about

Though I've been there

I have my doubts of where I am

Don't fence me in don't bleed me dry

Don't try to tell me where or why

Before another day goes by

don't fence me in, ohhhh...

don't fence me in

I have seen a blood red sky

Above a quiet place

And watched a man be ridiculed

For the colour of his face

And I heard a thousand tongues

All twisted by the truth

Condemning all the guilty

without proof

So don't just stand there

and laugh at me

And turn your face to the wall

Well I don't know if the preacher

prays for all

Don't fence me in don't leave me out

'Cos I don't know what life's about

Though I've been there

I have my doubts of where I am

Don't fence me in don't bleed me dry

Don't try to tell me where or why

Before another day goes by

don't fence me in, ohhhh...

don't fence me in, ohhhh...

don't fence me in

don't fence me in ...
