In my father's shoes
(© Ko-Do 2005)




I was a poet, I was a priest
I was the beauty, I was the beast
I was drunk, I was sober
I had it all and I had leftovers

I know why I got the blues:
I never walked in my father's shoes

I was a son, I was a brother
I even felt just like a mother
I was a singer, I was a writer
I was yellow and I was a fighter

I know why I got the blues:
I never walked in my father's shoes

I was Abel, I was Cain
I was sick and I was sane
I was a loser, I was a winner
I was a saint and I was a sinner

I know why I got the blues:
I never walked in my father's shoes
