Story Behind The Song

The quote "walk in my shoes" was said to me and a group of friends and I really liked the concept of wanting to walk in another person's shoes for a variety of reason's - jealousy, admiration, lust and so on.

Song Description

Admiration for some-one that has accomplished greater things in their life than myself.

Lyrics

Intro/chorus

What I would give
to be like you
What I would give
to walk in your shoes

Verse 1

You make every day
something to sing about
You choose forgiveness
I walk the path of doubt

Verse two

You hold it up
Give in to the sun
You always complete things
That I haven't begun

Repeat intro/chorus

Middle 8

Hold on
Maybe if you show me the way
Hold on
We can turn this night into day
Reach out
Don't stop believing
you life isn't true.
Let go
I can make this journey
If I only walk in your shoes

break

Verse 3

Your everything I admire
You give what you can
You shun the limelight
Stand back while others take the stand

Verse 4

Your there
when I need you
When I have the blues
You know
I would give anything
To walk in your shoes

Repeat intro/chorus
Repeat middle 8

Finale

And I would give anything
Give anything, give anything
I ain't got nothing to loose
You could take my soul
What's left is a hole
It fits better in your shoes

And I'd give anything
Give anything,
I'd give it all to you.
I have love to admire
What's missing is fire
No steps left to give in my shoes.

I'd give anything,
Give anything
Give me direction, take my left hand
Id give anything, give anything
I'd take the fall
if you take the stand

I'd give anything, give anything,
Give anything
I would take my own life
I would give anything... fade
