[Verse 1] Be strong when shadows start to grow, Be kind to every soul you meet, Be a good friend through rain and snow, And lend a hand along the street. [(Bridging Hook)] Walk in my shoes, do we know? [Verse 2] Be a good neighbour, calm and clear, Be fair in all you choose to do, Hold tight to those you hold most dear, And keep your steady heart true-blue. ([Bridging Hook2)] Walk in my shoes, do we know? [Verse 3] The evening falls, the light grows dim, The wind blows quiet through the trees, A gentle song, a fading hymn, Carried away upon the breeze. [Chorus1] Are you that stranger in the night, Who pours a glass of Autumn Wine? Is it time to go into the light, To whisper one last farewell fine, And leave the quiet world behind? [Verse 4] The leaves turn gold and drift to earth, The season changes in a breath, We measure what our days were worth, In life, in longing, and in death. [(Bridging Hook3]) Walk in my shoes, do we know? [Verse 5] Be strong when all the answers fade, Be kind when judgment starts to call, Be a good friend in light and shade, To catch each other when we fall. [Bridging Hook 4] Walk in my shoes, do we know? [Verse 6] Be a good neighbour through the cold, Be fair before the open door, The stories of our lives are told In simple things and nothing more. [Verse 7] The hour is late, the shadows bend, We gather up the threads we wove, And as we reach the journey’s end, We leave a legacy of love. [Bridging Hook5] Walk in my shoes, do we know? [Chorus2] Are you that stranger in the night, Who pours a glass of Autumn Wine? Is it time to go into the light, To whisper one last farewell fine, And leave the quiet world behind? [CODA] The road is long, the sun sets low, We take our final step in grace, Beyond the place where shadows go, To find our quiet resting place, To simply Be.
