I Have Walked in Your Shoes

 

H. W. Bryce

 

I have walked in your shoes, friend,

I have walked in your shoes,

You may feel down, friend,

You may feel down,

But you will not wear out your shoes, friend,

You will not wear them out,

And you will walk free again, friend,

You will walk free again,

 

You have your troubles, I’ve had mine,

Our footsteps match, they combine,

Experience shows that you’ll be fine.

You can fight or you can flow,

You will learn as you go,

And as you learn, you will know

How to step another step,

Another step to grow.

 

You feel that life has let you down,

But there’s no need for you to frown,

Your steps will take you to higher ground,

And you will find that you’ve been found.

 

So don’t you despair, there is hope,

There is repair, keep the faith,

Even to the power of the eighth.

Keep up hope, footsteps will take you there.

I’ve walked your walk and yes you dare,

I will help you along your way,

There are signs, look for them.

Yes I have walked in your shoes, my friend

 

You are not a burden, friend,

You are no burden after all,

You are fighting hard to be

What it was you used to be.

You are weak now, and you are lost,

You do not wish to be bossed.

You only want to be your Self

And all of you that’s gone away.

 

I am here to support you, my friend,

You are stronger than you think.

You have strength enough to lend.

And giving love will help you mend.

 

Yes I have walked in your shoes, my friend,

I have walked in your shoes.

Our footsteps match as they walk on,

 

Our footsteps are never two,

Our footsteps walk as one.

Now I walk in your shoes, my friend,

Now you walk in mine, my friend,

 

Yes, your shoes are tattered now,       almost worn out,

Now I walk in your shoes       Now I am your scout.
