Have You Been In My Shoes?

Written by Jonna, Jouni Kari

A woman came into a casting call
Wearing a wig that glittered
A dozen short-sighted eyes were watching her
Didn't know it was chemo that took her hair
A man was yelling out drunken words
While pushing his friend in a wheel chair
He said “My friend was beaten up a few years ago        
I look after him now as much as I can

Have you been in my
Have you been in my
Have you been in my shoes?

On her junior year in high school
Jessie had a cut wound on her wrist
She was tiptoed around and alienated
No-one asked her what happened
No-one asked her
No-one asked her what happened
No-one asked her if they could help

Have you been in my
Have you been in my
Have you been in my shoes?

Have you been in my
Have you been in my
Have you been in my shoes?
