The Blues

Hello, it's been a long, long time

It looks as though you're doing fine

Surprised to see that you're still alive

It's good to know that you survived

This life is tough, it takes it's toll

Just how much, they'll never know

Walk a mile in my shoes

Just so you can sing the blues

You wear it well, it fits you good

Wear it like I knew you would

Someone tried to drag you down

They beat you up and stole your crown

Your skin still fair and eyes so green

To me you're still a beauty queen

Walk a mile in my shoes

Just so you can sing the blues

It don't come easy, nothing's free

Living like a refugee

Wash the dirt off of your face

Welcoming return to grace

It's time for you to come on home

No longer lost and all alone

Walk a mile in my shoes

Just so you can sing the blues
