Lyrics

Every day and every night I always walk a dusty line
My nose is to the wind my eyes are always sharp and fine
This home these open fields always have the same old scent and ground
I always see the shadows all around me
This family and town always depend on me to sit and stay
I always have to keep the wolves and danger far away
But in the night when stars are so high in the skies
There's something that stirs like a wild call behind my eyes

The world beyond the fence where the wolves howl
The fear I feel in me seems to fade and it just makes sense
There's a heart that wants to be free and could roam
But I’ll sit in the limits of this home and fence

I was born to be a guard and growl at any danger
I was trained to stand and kill and to never howl
I was told not to chase what I can't see I just can't dream
Cause dreaming means I'll be free and I'll need to leave
I have heard the wolves howl and cry behind the fence
They are free where the fence doesn’t see where the skies and clouds fly free
And I wonder if I’m meant to be out there deep inside
I wonder what it’s like to run as wild as a wolf

The world beyond the fence where the rules
Don’t meet their disapproval—but if I leave would I be
Leaving the leads the love the warmth of home
But I want to be brave and question why

But what if leaving means I might fall
What if I’ll be alone and no one hears my call
What if this freedom will just leave me out in the cold
And my story is just this and not so bold

The world beyond the fence is not for me
It’s not where a soul can scale the fence
There is no time for anger not for pride
But I still want to see what waits outside

So tonight I’ll raise my head
Toward the stars that burn blood-red
One last look then no pretence
I was born
To stay to sit inside of this fence
