He was just a lonely kid, no matter what he did
Was never recognized
Then you came along, it was the second son
So special in their eyes
Oh, how he ran
To the city where his dreams
Would turn to man
Oh, how he ran
So he lived his life alone where he lay was home
Then they made him move along
From town to town with his head held down
Then he turned towards the gun
Again how he ran
From the badge he had no chance
To understand
Oh, how he ran
Don't cut the wire ‘cause he really needs you now
Don't cut the wire in the final hour
When it comes to the rest, you were always the best
Brother, don't you cut the wire
Many years have passed but behind the mask
He always thought of you
Now with a gun in hand, it's his final stand
Your brother needs you too
He knows how he ran
From the child he was
Then later from the man
Oh, how he ran
Don't cut the wire ‘cause he really needs you now
Don't cut the wire in the final hour
When it comes to the rest, you were always the best
Brother, don't you cut the wire
Brother, don't you cut the wire
He's going to live for you
He's going to live for you
'Cause he's going to live for you
He's going to live for you
'Cause he's going to live for you
Brother, sister
Don't you cut the wire
Yes, he's going to live for you
He's going to live for you
He's going to live for you
Don't you cut the wire
Don't you cut the wire
Don't you cut the wire
Cut the wire
