We've all seen enough wrong and right

To know everything's 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 or worse anybody can

Take a look around and find a better man

Upright no matter how he's farin'

No matter what kind of shoes he's wearin'

The shoes he's wearin'

They don't make the man



So many people out runnin' around

Handicapped before they hit the ground

Thinkin' there's nowhere to go

Shouldn't we all be lookin' for ways

To keep on seein' 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 tellin' what a man can be

Upright no matter how you're farin'

No matter what kind of shoes you're wearin'

The shoes you're wearin'

They don't make the man



But if you can't walk through the best of times and the worst of times

Find your feet still walkin' the line

You'll never carry the load worth bearin'

No matter what kind of shoes you're wearin'

The shoes you're wearin'

They won't make the man

The shoes you're wearin'

They won't make the man
