I would tell you
about the things
they put me through
the pain I've been
subjected to
But the Lord himself
would blush
The countless feasts
laid at my feet
forbidden fruits
for me to eat
But I think your pulse
would start to rush
Now I'm not looking
for absolution
forgiveness for
the things I do
But before you come
to any conclusions
try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
you'll stumble
in my footsteps
Keep the same
appointments I kept
if you try walking
in my shoes
If you try walking
in my shoes
Morality would
frown upon
decency look down upon
the scapegoat fate's
made of me
But I promise now
my judge and jurors
my intentions couldn't
have been purer
my case is easy to see
I'm not looking for
a clearer conscience
peace of mind after
what I've been through
And before we talk
of any repentance
try walking
in my shoes
Try walking
in my shoes
you'll stumble
in my footsteps
Keep the same
appointments I kept
if you try walking
in my shoes
If you try walking
in my shoes
try walking
in my shoes
Now I'm not looking
for absolution
forgiveness for
the things I do
But before you come
to any conclusions
try walking
in my shoes
Try walking
in my shoes
you'll stumble
in my footsteps
Keep the same
appointments I kept
if you try walking
in my shoes
You'll stumble
in my footsteps
keep the same
appointments I kept
If you try walking
in my shoes
try walking
in my shoes
If you try walking
in my shoes
try walking
in my shoes
