Someone Else's Shoes

They say love is like an ocean

So much deeper than emotion

Stronger than the moon pulls the tide

And if a heart is like a river

A rolling tide of gold and silver

Shining towards the shore on the other side

Then I thank my lucky stars

For all the second chances

Who among us never failed to tell the truth

You never know

Just what somebody’s gone through

‘Till you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes

Lord knows we’ve all had to fake it

the more you give, the more they take it

Till you don’t even need to know the reason why

If you go turning through the pages

You might find, forever changes

And the very deepest well can still run dry

So I thank my lucky stars

For all the second chances

Who among us never failed to tell the truth

You never know

Just what somebody’s gone through

‘Till you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes

I wish I could communicate a message, my dear friend

I don’t think you really even know all the trouble that you’re in

There’s just no way around the truth, a cold heart just won’t work

You sure you’re gonna play with fire, and somehow not get burned

So I thank my lucky stars

For all the second chances

And sometimes dreams do come true

You never know

Just what somebody’s gone through

‘Till you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes
