Thousand Miles
In my shoes, just to see
What its like, to be me
I’ll be you, lets trade shoes
Just to see what I’d be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each others minds
Just to see what we’d find
Look at shit through each others eyes
…
Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we’re dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip em don’t expect no help
Now I could have either just stayed at home sit on my ass and pissed and moaned
Or take this situation with which I’m placed in and get up and kick my own
I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags
And sat on the porch and hope and prayed for a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in in every single place every school i went
I dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid
And Edna always told me keep making that face and it’ll get stuck like that
Meanwhile I’m just standing there holding my tongue tryna walk like that
‘Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then cuz I wasn’t trying to impress my friends no more
But i already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
Cuz where you see it from where your sitting its probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile in each others shoes at least.
…
God gave you shoes to fit you
So put them on and wear them
Be yourself man
Be proud of who you are

Shine on
be all that you need
let go of the fear
let go of the time
let go of the ones
to try to put you down
you’re gonna be fine
don’t hold it inside
go ahead right now
and let it all come round. (R.S.)
