Analysis of ~ In My Shoes ~
Every mile I walk
I am drained
Every one I try to remember
Every one I forget
For each step
I loose my power
I try to remember
Everyone I forget
The winds blow a different
direction each hour
The longer the stride
I try to remember
Every one I forget
The harder to survive
This is not the
end of me yet
Every day I try to remember
Every day I forget
If only I knew
The years that have past,
when wearing my shoes
