“White Picket Fence”
Lyrics: Frank Barter
Music: Stephen Pavlik

When the lights have been doused
And the Sun is going to shine through
Another morning light

When the fog starts to lift
And the Sun is going to burn through
Another morning light

There’s a house
There’s a house
Against a river
A river of faith

There’s a yard
There’s a yard
Lots of flowers
Flowers so bright

When all hope has been vanquished
And there’s nowhere left to hide
From the danger that surrounds us
And the stories full of lies
All those lies

There’s a street
There’s a street
Tree lined overture
Ever so sweet

There’s a town
There’s a town
Lots of storefronts
Holding their dreams

When the time starts to stand still
And the town it begins to die
And the White Picket Fence is
It’s nothing but a lie
A lie…..

There’s a land
There’s a land
Full of promise
Promise so high

There’s a World
There’s a World
Wanting a future
A future so bright

And the people have now found out 9/10
That the truth has begun to die 7/8
And the ground we've been building on 9/10
Will now crumble in the lies 7/8
And they’ll cry ⅚

Repeat
When the time starts to stand still
And the leaders they all lie
And the White Picket Fence is
Is also just a lie
A lie…..
