Someone Else's Shoes

They say love is like an ocean It goes 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 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
