Intro: We've all seen enough wrong and right To know everything is 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 of worse anybody can Take a look around and find a better man Upright no matter how he's fearing No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing The shoes he's wearing, it don't make the man So many people out running around Handicap before they hit the ground Thinking there's no where 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 telling what a man can be Upright no matter how you're fearing No matter what kind of shoes your wearing The shoes you're wearing, it don't make the man But if you can't walk In the best of times, in the worst of times Find your feet still walking the line You never carry the load worth bearing No matter what kind of shoes your wearing The shoes you're wearing It don't make the man The shoes you're wearing It won't make the man
