It can take a long, long time
To find a reason and a rhyme
One minute you’re dancing, wild and free
Next thing you know, you can hardly move your feet
Won’t you, won’t you wait for me?
I’m almost there, have faith in me
You say you know what I should do
But you have never walked a mile
In my shoes
I keep trudging up the hill
It feels like I’m standing still (standing still)
Pouring rain soaks to the bone
I shield my eyes and lean into the bitter cold
Won’t you, won’t you wait for me?
I’m almost there, have faith in me (faith in me)
You say you know what I should do
But you have never walked a mile (walked a mile, walked a mile)
In my shoes
Won’t you, won’t you wait for me?
I went so close, have faith in me (faith in me)
You say you know what I should do
But you have never walked a mile (walked a mile, walked a mile)
Won’t you, won’t you wait for me?
I’m almost there, have faith in me (faith in me)
You keep saying what I should do
But you have never walked a mile (walked a mile, walked a mile)
In my shoes
