Текст песни Walking In My Shoes

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.
Try walking in my shoes.
If you try walking in my shoes.
Try walking in my shoes.
