In My Shoes by Magdalena Rodriguez © 2006 “Youth Under Pressure”, that’s ME everyday! Trying to survive what’s placed in my way. The challenge to stay pure, a life of righteousness When all life deals me are temptations and stress! Do you have a clue of what I’m feeling inside? My hopes and dreams to live a normal life. Mom, Dad I’m reaching out to you If only you knew what’s to walk in my shoes. My thoughts are not my own, no matter how I try There’s a force controlling my mind of committing suicide. My actions rebel of what I’ve missed all along The love and security, that keeps a family strong. It may be hard to understand what I say or do, I’m just screaming for attention from the both of you. I may walk around, acting tough like I don‘t care But deep in my heart I long for love, I’m scared! You see, I’m not what I seem to be If only you’ll listen to what’s hidden in me. I’m a child lost in a world where the battles are strong I’m searching for a place where I feel I can belong. This place I’ve stumbled across, no words can express In my shoes HE’s walked and offers me rest. HIS throne, where I laid all my pain and sorrows Has given me hope for a brighter tomorrow. You see my old shoes, I no longer walk in HE’s given me a new pair to follow Him. Don’t give up hope, for HE’s working in me It’s a slow process, but one day you’ll see. In my shoes, won’t YOU walk IN one day? So you can share with me WHO I AM today. |
