Walking in My Shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
And before we talk of any repentance
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

But the Lord himself would blush
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Keep the same appointments I kept
Keep the same appointments I kept
Keep the same appointments I kept

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Decency look down upon

If you try walking in my shoes
Forgiveness for the things I do
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Morality would frown upon
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Now I'm not looking for absolution
The scapegoat fate's made of me
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
Peace of mind after what I've been through
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
The countless feasts laid at my feet
If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes
The pain I've been subjected to
But before you come to any conclusions
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
