You Should Walk A Day In My Shoes
So you think that I complain too much...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think that I am not strong enough...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think that I am a hypocrite and fake...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think I lost my faith...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think I am not sick enough...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think I tell stories and lies...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think I am a fool for caring too much...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
So you think I talk too much...
I wish you could walk a day in my shoes.
But since you Can't I will let you know...
My shoes are too big and full of pain.
I am stronger than you think!
I do complain
I am in pain
I am not weak!
It's happiness I seek..
I am too real for you to understand
So since there's things You can not see, Stop making your demands!
My faith might be small but yet it grows everyday
I just have to keep going until I find my own way.
My sickness started with too much sadness and despair
I had too many people around me, pretending to care.
I speak the truth and yet in all I hide
Because if I told you where I've been you probably leave my side...
I am a fool, but I don't care!
My heart is huge and full of love to share...
I talk a lot of course I do!...
It's my way of not thinking and feeling blue...
I Do Not wish for you to walk in my shoes!
Instead I try to stop it all by giving away some clues...
I am not perfect, Yes! I know...
It's not for me to follow your flow
So why do I take the time to say all this?
You may not know, but GOD does Exist!
