Walked a Mile

You hear the world behind your door
You think you know it, but you know that
You could know it more
You think you’ve seen the dark of night
But in your pocket you have always had
The brightest kind of light

I could say you had it easy
But then you’d only victimize
You don’t know the devil till
You’ve seen behind his eyes

If I lie
Awake in bed at night
And why you won’t believe me
Believe me, for a while?
You could try
On someone else’s shoes
Then lose, you’ll believe me
Once you have walked a mile

You fill the chill run down your spine
You know that nothing can compare
And you begin to realize
You are on your own for the first time
No one will catch you if you fall down here
The Sun will never shine

With all your crutches fallen
You pick yourself up off the ground
Now that you’ve hit the bottom
Learn to not look down

If I lie
Awake in bed at night
And why you won’t believe me
Believe me, for a while?
You could try
On someone else’s shoes
Then lose, you’ll believe me
Once you have walked a mile
