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

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


Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon

The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My 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
And 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 kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes

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


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

Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
