Young man, but wise to the bone From a youthless man who’s walked a lonely road And no fear of picking up Daddy’s traits He holds himself together with these barbed wire gates Alone, we stand together we fall Slow, that belief conquers all So don’t let people hold you back Gotta stand tall and aim higher Don’t touch the barbed wire I say, don’t let people hold you back Gotta stand tall and aim higher Don’t touch the barbed wire Don’t touch the barbed wire And watch him grow into a shell of a man Everything is taking shape and going to plan How quickly though, life can turn around One step forward, two steps back, he’s lost in the crowd Alone, we stand together we fall Slow, that belief conquers all So don’t let people hold you back Gotta stand tall and aim higher Don’t touch the barbed wire I say, don’t let people hold you back Gotta stand tall and aim higher Don’t touch the barbed wire Don’t touch the barbed wire If you walk in your shadow Led by shepherds then you know If you walk in your shadow If you walk in your shadow Led by shepherds then you know If you walk in your shadow So don’t let people hold you back Gotta stand tall and aim higher Don’t touch the barbed wire I say, don’t let people hold you back Gotta stand tall and aim higher Don’t touch the barbed wire Don’t touch the barbed wire Don’t touch the barbed wire Don’t touch the barbed wire Don’t touch the barbed wire
