Fence Post and a Prayer

Verse

Four posts standing like worn stone pillars

Paint's chipped off years ago

Rust on the hinges, wire snagged in the fence

But that gate still swings, every time we need it to

Fading light and a whole yard full of shadows

Someone built this with their own two hands

Pre-Chorus

Now what do you say we cross the line

Where your shadow meets my outstretched hand?

Can you hear it cracking under our weight

A little bit of something only happens when we take this kind of leap

Chorus

Fence post and a prayer, that's all I need

Wide open spaces where two hearts can be free

Fence post and a prayer, the stars come out to meet us

We'll chase down every dream that our hearts let loose

Verse

Barefoot kids running through the tall grass behind it

Catching fireflies in jars we found on the ground

This old wooden rail keeps all of our secrets

Tales that only grow sweeter with each passing year around

The moon's a silver dollar on the horizon line

And I swear every one of these stars is rooting for us

Pre-Chorus

Now what do you say we cross the line

Where your shadow meets my outstretched hand?

Can you hear it cracking under our weight

A little bit of something only happens when we take this kind of leap

Chorus

Fence post and a prayer, that's all I need

Wide open spaces where two hearts can be free

Fence post and a prayer, the stars come out to meet us

We'll chase down every dream that our hearts let loose

Bridge

No bars on this horizon

Just you, me, and a whole lot of sky

The wind it whispers 'go', and I believe it for sure this time

Because out here under these stars, we're the only two things standing tall

Chorus

Fence post and a prayer, that's all I need

Wide open spaces where two hearts can be free

Fence post and a prayer, the stars come out to meet us

We'll chase down every dream that our hearts let loose
