[Verse 1]
It can take a long, long time
To find a reason and a rhyme
One minute you're dancing, wild and free
Next thing you know, you can hardly move your feet

[Chorus]
Won't you, won't you wait for me?
I'm almost there, have faith in me
You say you know what I should do
But you have never walked a mile
In my shoes

[Verse 2]
I keep trudging up the hill
It feels like I'm standing still (standing still)
Pouring rain soaks to the bone
I shield my eyes and lean into the bitter cold

[Chorus]
Won't you, won't you wait for me?
I'm almost there, have faith in me (faith in me)
You say you know what I should do
But you have never walked a mile (walked a mile, walked a mile)
In my shoes
[Chorus]
Won't you, won't you wait for me?
I went so close, have faith in me (faith in me)
You say you know what I should do
But you have never walked a mile (walked a mile, walked a mile)
Won't you, won't you wait for me?
I'm almost there, have faith in me (faith in me)
You keep saying what I should do
But you have never walked a mile (walked a mile, walked a mile)
In my shoes
