How can my feet hold up all my weight? From my sick mind To my weak heart To my bloated stomach To my heavy hands My used ****** My tired legs If the gods asked for my soul I would say no Take my feet They will decide for you the weight my life
How can my feet hold the weight of my whole life? I haven't got a clue how to be lighter I'm sorry feet for being so tall and wide You're only average sized You'll have to give me my bearings Bear with me You'll need to carry me When I have fallen down You'll need to take me there Even if I'm going nowhere The other parts of my body have been carried by you to places You've touched all kind of floors Worn shoes out Climbed flights of stairs Rubbed against other feet That's the only glamour this life That and soft socks
And if I had no feet I would need to make new ones anyway Then my body would act as feet Or my knees would act as feet Trickling up it's strength to give me the grounded feeling we all seek
Pretty feet that have gone far in life Working feet that have stayed put Solid Feet who tread mountainous terrain Broken feet which always are what a heart feels like only sometimes hopefully If my spirit is broken My feet don't dance If my legs are crossed because they don't care to move My feet will care for you Bobbing up and down In impatience Waiting for changes So she can plant herself down again Allowing me to stand up for what I believe Firmly planted on the ground Prepared to do or not do Prepared to walk with dignity Prepared to run for my life
While my hands will always know the pleasantness of play My favorite part of the day Is when I take off my shoes And they two are free to walk on wood To rub against the fabric of my sheets Feel the belly of my pet To sleep Till they wake again They are the first to rouse When they touch down I know I can take on the day To stand on my own two feet
