We've all seen enough wrong and right
To know everything is not black and white
There's always something in between
No matter how long or well you live
You don't get anything you don't give
Still no slate is clean
For better of worse anybody can
Take a look around and find a better man
Upright no matter how he's fearing
No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing
The shoes he's wearing, it don't make the man
So many people out running around
Handicap before they hit the ground
Thinking there's no where to go
Shouldn't we all be looking for ways
To keep on seeing our better days
We're not chained to what we know
But if your eyes are open
And your mind is free
There's no telling what a man can be
Upright no matter how you're fearing
No matter what kind of shoes your wearing
The shoes you're wearing, it don't make the man
But if you can't walk
In the best of times, in the worst of times
Find your feet still walking the line
You never carry the load worth bearing
No matter what kind of shoes your wearing
The shoes you're wearing
