Too many people walk staring down Watching their feet hit the pavement Heel toe Heel toe Heel toe
It's all the same Over and over again Why is it so intimidating to look up? Are we afraid that glancing forward will cause us to trip?
No We watch our feet Heel toe Heel toe Heel toe We watch our feet out of fear of what we will see when other's see us
Have you ever looked into the eyes of a complete stranger intentionally? Held that stare for mare than a second or two? What we fear is their judgement Because For that extra second we hold their stare We are evaluating them sizing them up giving them purpose or lack of it
That is what we fear Their judgement than verdict
That they, this stranger sharing our path, will pound the gavel over our soul And pronounce us guilty unaccepted wrong strange different condemned
Their judgement proves all too significant It will be what defines us That is why we stare down at our feet As they go Heel toe Heel toe Heel toe
