This is a song by Finger Eleven, and if you don’t know who they are… they’re a band, formed in ’89 in Burlington, Ontario Canada.\u00a0 They were formerly known as the Rainbow Butt Monkeys.\u00a0\u00a0 A fantastic band, and I chose this song because it reflects a lot of aspects of my life.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only my life, but others as well.\u00a0 As humans, we tend to be quick to judge.\u00a0 But we never know the hardships that those we judge have had to face.\u00a0 Try walking in their shoes before you judge them.<\/p>\n
“Walking in My Shoes”
\nI would tell you about the things,
\nThey put me through.
\nThe pain I’ve been subjected to.
\nBut the Lord himself would blush.
\nThe countless feasts laid at my feet,
\nForbidden fruits for me to eat.
\nBut I think your pulse would start to rush.
\nNow I’m not looking for absolution,
\nOr forgiveness for the things I do.
\nBut before we come to any conclusions,
\nTry walking in my shoes.
\nTry walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
You’ll stumble in my footsteps.
\nKeep the same appointments I’ve kept.
\nIf you try walking in my shoes.
\nIf you try walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
Morality would frown upon,
\nAnd decency look down upon,
\nThe scapegoat fate’s made of me.
\nBut I’ll tell you now, my judge and jurors.
\nIntentions couldn’t have been purer.
\nMy case is easy to see.<\/p>\n
I’m not looking for a clearer conscience.
\nPeace of mind after what I’ve been through.
\nBut before we talk of any repentance,
\nTry walking in my shoes.
\nTry walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
You’ll stumble in my footsteps.
\nKeep the same appointments I’ve kept.
\nIf you try walking in my shoes.
\nTry walking in my shoes.
\nTry walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
Now I’m not looking for the absolution,
\nOr forgiveness for the things I do.
\nBut before you come to any conclusions.
\nTry walking in my shoes.
\nTry walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
You’ll stumble in my footsteps.
\nKeep the same appointments I’ve kept.
\nIf you try walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
You’ll stumble in my footsteps.
\nKeep the same appointments I’ve kept.
\nIf you try walking in my shoes.
\nTry walking in my shoes.
\nIf you try walking in my shoes.<\/p>\n
