as i look around, to you
and ill take off my shoes
offer to take you away
and see what my world has to say

but you only politely decline
thinking youre something divine
and youll never dare take a chance
only regretting that last dance...

that look in your eye...
tells me youre in the sky
looking down the telescope
stealing away my nothing, my hope.

and as i look up, at you
ill take off my shoes
offer to take you away
see what my world can say

youll only reject me
why cant you see??
im only trying to help you
to take away your ignorance

to make you realize
theres more to life
than status
than money
than possesions
than degrading people


one day, we shall meet
face to face, at the pearly gates
and we both will be judged
solid will be our fates

and your life of money
a life of theft, and hate
you will be destined for hell
solid will be our fates

but ill face to face, to you
ill take off my shoes
offer them to you, one last time.
hell is only a mile away...

and youll only accept
because you have nothing to loose
and finally, after an eternity...
you would have walked one mile.
in my shoes.

The metaphor walking in my shoes tells me you are troubled. i am here for you, let my ears listen.
