The shiny, glossy shoes you wear to go outside,
and show the world how shiny, glossy your feel.
They are the shoes others will use,
to walk a mile in your life.
However bumpy, however ***** the road,
they won't feel the bumps and dirt,
wearing your glossy, shiny shoes.
Those old, everyday sneakers, they're not that bad,
the inside, shaped to your feet, years after years,
the outside a bit scarred, a bit battered.
Lend them, too, for a mile or two,
so all can feel how strong are your fee
