Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 games
[Verse 2]
Alone we stand, together we fall
Just know that belief conquers all
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
And watch him grow into a shell of a man
Everything is taking shape and going to plan
How quick he knows, life can turn around
One step forward, two steps back
He's lost in the crowd
[Verse 5]
Alone we stand, together we fall
Just know that belief conquers all
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
If you walk in your shadow
Led by shepards then you know
If you walk in your shadow
[Verse 8]
If you walk in your shadow
Led by shepards then you know
If you walk in your shadow
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
Don't touch the barbed wire
Don't touch the barbed wire
Don't touch the barbed wire
