what is it like to be someone else
to completely step out of yourself
and how does it feel to cry another's tears
or be paralyzed by someone else's fears
tell me if I stepped into another's shoes
and left behind everything that I knew
would it solve the problems that I bear
or when I came back would they still be there
Chorus
cause being me
is not easy
broken inside
wanting to hide
cause you know my heart
was broken from the start
would anyone else like to be me
to feel my pain and see what I see
would anyone like to cry my tears
would anyone like to drown in my fears
if I gave someone my shoes to wear
would they take this burden I bear
would they find the answers to my problems
or would they just be ashamed of who I am
Chorus
Jesus was born and walked among us
giving everyone he met lots of love
he wanted to walk in my shoes so he's understand
the pain that I feel he has been where I am
he wanted to know what it was like to cry my tears
so that he could be the one to help me face my fears
he left his throne and became a man like you and me
so that he knew exactly where we were and where we will be
Chorus
