I've been walking in your shoes

trying to see the world like you do

the path you tread is not so clear

but I'm here trying to draw near

your sorrows your joys your fears

I'm on a quest to understand all these years

the tears you shed the smiles you faked

I'm trying to empathize no more mistakes

trying to empathize with you to feel

what you've been through

in this journey I'm brand new

but I'm determined it's what I'll do

I'll break down the walls you've built

and find the heart it's been spilled

trying to empathize with you

cause that's the least I can do

the dreams that seem so far away

the hopes you've held and watched decay

I listen to your silent cries

as the days pass by right before my eyes

the weight you carry on your back

the battles you fight no turning back

I'm reaching out across the space

to find that common and pathetic place

trying to empathize with you to feel

what you've been through

in this journey I'm brand new

but I'm determined it's what I'll do

I'll break down the walls you built

and find a heart that's been spilt

trying to empathize with you

cause that's the least I can do

it's not an easy road to take

but for your sake I'll stay awake

I'll learn a language of your pain

and never let it be in vain

trying to empathize with you to feel

what you've been through in this journey I'm brand new

but I'm determined it's what I'll do

I'll break down the walls you build

and find the heart that's been spilt

trying to empathize with you

cause that's the least I can do
