Lyrics

On the streets of Boston
There are worn and tired souls
Every city has some
The homeless and alone
For the grace of God I know
Oh that could have been me downtown
Wandering the streets
And I'd be thinking what they think

You never walked in my shoes
You never felt what I feel
But you judge me like you do
Says less about me
So much more about you
You never walked in my shoes
You never felt the same fear
Had your will to live removed
And be a miracle you’re here
You never walked in my shoes

And a good case of panic
It made my heart pound right through my chest
It made me frightened to death
I couldn't catch my breath
Then I fell into a well and it was
Black as black can be
It was cold and dark and deep
Where no one could find me

You never walked in my shoes
You never felt what I feel
But you judge me like you do
Says less about me
So much more about you
You never walked in my shoes
You never felt the same fear
Had your will to live removed
And be a miracle you’re here
You never walked in my shoes

And I'm as guilty as the rest
But I try so hard to understand
You see it wasn't me that walked to freedom
It was those footsteps in the sand

You never walked in my shoes
You never felt what I feel
But you judge me like you do
Says less about me
So much more about you
You never walked in my shoes
You never felt the same fear
Had your will to live removed
And be a miracle you’re here
You never walked in my shoes
You never walked in my shoes
You never walked in my shoes
You never walked in my shoes
