If you were in my shoes you would see what I go through.

In my shoes you would see why I'm the way I am.
You would see what I go through and would see
that I'm not shy at all.

In my shoes you would understand me better
and not make fun of me.

In my shoes you would see what it is like to
live in poverty and not in wealth.

Once you've been in my shoes you will see
that I'm not shy at all.

Once you've been in my shoes you'll see
that I am human after all.
