The Shoes You're Wearing

We've all seen enough wrong and right
 To know everything's not black and white
 There's always something in between
 No matter how long or well you live
 You don't get anything you don't give
 Still no slate is clean
 For better or worse, anybody can
 Take a look around and find a better man
 Upright no matter how he's faring
 No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing
 The shoes he's wearing
 They don't make the man
 So many people out running around
 Handicapped before they hit the ground
 Thinking there's nowhere to go
 Shouldn't we all be looking for ways
 To keep on seeing our better days
 We're not chained to what we know
 But if your eyes are open and your mind is free
 There's no tellin' what a man can be
 Upright no matter how you're faring
 No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
 The shoes you're wearing
 They don't make the man
 But if you can't walk through the best of times
 and the worst of times
 Find your feet still walking the line
 You'll never carry the load worth bearing
 No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
 The shoes you're wearing
 They won't make the man
 The shoes you're wearing
 They won't make the man
