In Another's Shoes
Go ahead and tell me your
problems
Your life of misery and pain
How mine is all "sunshine and
roses"
And you live in mud and rain
Tell me I've had life handed to me
Gained it all without effort
But yours, oh yours could never be
happy
Being stuck in a never ending hurt
Blame it on my color
blame it on my age
Any reason that my life is easier
Than yours by any way
I'm sorry if you think I'm perfect
Born in some heavenly role
That people live a flawless story
While your the exception to the rule
Now I normally don't complain
Because I love you enough to listen
But you beat down hate with every
comeback
When I try to offer some elder
wisdom
I understand that you have
struggles
Feeling like its all on you
But so does every other being
IT'S NOT JUST YOU
