Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Oh, I would tell you about the things
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
At the multitude of horrors
That have been committed in the name of
In the name of

So before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Now the race is on
And you better believe it
That you haven't got a prayer
'Cause I've prayed for you
I've prayed for you

So before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
