Lyrics
Barbed Wire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
