Barbed Wire

Young man, but wise to the old
From a youth less 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.
