What If the Other Shoe
There was a time long ago
the story went, don't you know
Kids are starving, could've been you
What if, someday, the other shoe
-----------------------------------------------
Entitled to all that you can bestow
Pound away to make the dough
I close my mind to block the view
What if, someday, the other shoe
-----------------------------------------------
Fashion row heads on down below
Where green rules the real skid row
And mediocrity turns the color blue
What if, someday, the other shoe
------------------------------------------------
Lie low the shadows that I outgrow
Sour grapes turn into a fine bordeaux
Drink from the cup of change it's due
What if, someday, the other shoe
------------------------------------------------
There was a time long ago
The ceiling was glass with no plateau
Now ground level means I won't fall through
What if, someday, the other shoe
------------------------------------------------
