If You Were in my Shoes© 2001 Your new white Mercedes, my old Chevrolet, Tho' we drive the same streets, our paths never cross; We meet face to face, conversation a loss. My body stays here while my soul speaks to God. You climb Mount McKinley and hope I'll applaud. Your fabulous vacations, my dayruns down South; Your talk picks up where my words leave off. The people I know and the air in my space Take up where your life falls flat on its face; But I don't speak of it to any of your kind, My silence a puzzle to your haughty mind. I'm only trying to slip through the cracks, Falling to a place where I'll never get back. You have your bright fortune, you flaunt it with pride. You hope no one sees your soul's suicide. |
