I would tell you about the things,
They put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet,
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I'm not looking for absolution,
Or forgiveness for the things I do
But before we 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've kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon,
And decency look down upon,
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I'll tell you now, my judge and jurors
Intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
But before we talk of any repentance,
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

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

Now I'm not looking for the absolution,
Or 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've kept
If you try walking in my shoes

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