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
