Walking in Your Shoes
1st verse (male)
Hanging from my dashboard
An ole’ sun bleached Polaroid
Of you blowing out the candles on that cake
So young and full of hope
With no idea the places you could go
But one year goin’ past ain’t gonna make
A difference to the new dad that I was
Who knew the hardest part was yet to come?
2nd verse (male)
Just put up one today
With a tear rollin’ down my face
Of you smiling bright in that cap and gown
The years went by so fast
Just like the sand through an hourglass
Before I knew it I was breaking down
That little girl I love is fully grown
Who knew it would be so hard to let go?
Chorus (male)
But I’m gonna stand up proud
While you figure this life out
I’m not gonna get in your way
Let you make your own mistakes
I’ll be here praying for you
Because I know what it’s like walking in your shoes
Walking in your shoes
3rd verse (female)
Sitting on my night stand
Remind me take that chance
Is the letter you wrote before I left home
So wise and full of faith
And even though the words will slowly fade
I can’t forget the things that you have shown
I’ll take them wherever the road leads me
Who knew it would be just what I need?
2nd chorus (female)
I’m gonna spread my wings
While giving life to my dreams
I know this has gotta be hard
Leaving you to make my mark
I’ll be here praying for you
Because I don’t know what it’s like walking in your shoes
Walking in your shoes
Repeat 1st chorus in unison
