Walk A Mile
Holly Go Lightly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If being me is easy from where you stand
Seeing is believing from where I am
Try being me if you think you can
You think I got it easy
Try being me

And if then you do
I did before
I did it all before you
And so much more
Everything you see, you see, I already saw
You want something new to see
Try being me

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes

If being me is easy from where you stand
Seeing is believing from where I am
Try being me if you think you can
You think I got it easy
Try being me

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes




Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes

Line by Line Meaning

If being me is easy from where you stand
If my life looks easy to you, from the outside looking in


Seeing is believing from where I am
But once you're in my shoes and experiencing everything I do, you'll understand


Try being me if you think you can
So if you think you can do it, give it a try


You think I got it easy
Because from where you stand, my life looks like a breeze


Try being me
But the reality is, it takes a lot of effort and resilience to get through each day


And if then you do
But if you do try to live my life


I did before
Just know that I've been through it all before


I did it all before you
And I've seen everything you're seeing now, long before you did


And so much more
Plus, I've gone through even more than what you're experiencing at the moment


Everything you see, you see, I already saw
So don't think you're uncovering something new, because I've already been there


You want something new to see
If you're looking for something fresh or different


Try being me
Try living my life and seeing things from my perspective


Walk a mile in my shoes
Experience everything I've experienced, and see things from my point of view


Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk in my footsteps, and live through everything I've lived through


Walk a mile in my shoes
Really try to understand what it's like to be me, and what I go through on a daily basis


Walk a mile in my shoes
Experience my struggles and my triumphs, and see what it's like to live as me


Walk a mile in my shoes
Only then will you truly understand what it's like to be in my shoes


Walk a mile in my shoes
So go ahead and try, and let's see if you can handle it


Walk a mile in my shoes
But don't judge until you've walked a mile in my shoes
