[Verse] A single shoe left in the rain Its laces frayed its colors drained It tells a tale of where it’s been Of journeys lost and lives unseen [Verse 2] On city streets or forest trails Through sunny days and thunder’s wails A step was taken then forgot The shoe remains but stories not [Chorus] Oh forgotten shoe where have you been Through mud and stone and places green You’ve walked a life we’ll never know A quiet relic from long ago [Verse 3] A child’s laughter a runner’s race The steps it carried left no trace Through fleeting joy and aching pain The shoe persists in sun and rain [Bridge] Discarded dreams now worn and torn A witness to a world forlorn But still it stands through night and day A testament to life’s ballet [Chorus] Oh forgotten shoe where have you been Through mud and stone and places green You’ve walked a life we’ll never know A quiet relic from long ago
