"Walking In My Shoes" lyrics

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Forgiveness for the things I do

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes

You'll stumble in my footsteps
Try walking in my shoes

I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I've been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes...

Try walking in my shoes
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes

Try walking in my shoes...
