The Christmas Shoes lyrics
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin’ to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
Standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing ’round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes
His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn’t believe what I heard him say
Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, “Son, there’s not enough here”
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me Sir, what am I going to do,
Somehow I’ve got to buy her these Christmas shoes
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I’ll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama’s gonna look so great
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It’s Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there’s not much time
You see she’s been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
Bridge:
I knew I’d caught a glimpse of heaven’s love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
Repeat Chorus
First day in a brand-new town
What will it be like, will it all go down?
Everyday I’m gonna write this down
Right here in my diary
And all this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave behind, but the pages of our lives?
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things in life worth living for
One thing I know is that when life’s moving slow
I’m not out here on my own, I’ve got You (to get me through this)
I’m on a long journey through mountains of apathy
And I’m not afraid to walk through
Everywhere I look it’s all so different
Another city but it makes no difference
Still going through the same old issues
Everything’s ok, nothing feels broken
With the days of the old behind me
Another summer and I feel like climbing
Write another page while the sun’s still shining
Right here in my diary
And all this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave behind, but the pages of our lives?
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things in life worth living for
One thing I know is that when life’s moving slow
I’m not our here on my own, I’ve got You (to get me through this)
I’m on a long journey through mountains of apathy
And I’m not afraid to walk through
Fading, hating, waiting for some place where I can fit in
Show me, grow me, hold me, till my balance starts to set in
Fading, hating, waiting for some place where i can fit in
Show me, grow me, hold me, till my balance starts to set in
All this time, while the world passes us by
What will we leave behind, but the pages of our lives?
And if we take our time, I bet we can all find
The things in life worth living for
(2,3,4)
One thing I know is that when life’s moving slow
I’m not out here on my own, I’ve got You (to get me through this)
I’m on a long journey through mountains of apathy
And I’m not afraid to walk through
I saw the lights outside your house,
Red lights cut like nothin’ else,
The scene of a silent cry for help
How are we supposed to do this?
If everyone we love, still lets us down,
If you’re there, can you hear me now?
No matter how hard I try,
Can’t get you out of my mind,
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don’t hold it inside, ‘cause what’s left can be right,
What’s left can be right
I saw the sky go black today,
I felt your tears, and ached your pain,
It’s hard to tell how much this changed,
How you see everything
And all I can do is pray,
That you don’t take the blame,
‘Cause it’s not your fault, that it happened this way,
Happened this way
How are we supposed to do this?
If everyone we love, still lets us down,
If you’re there, can you hear me now?
No matter how hard I try,
Can’t get you out of my mind,
Wish I could be there to help you say goodbye
Don’t hold it inside, ‘cause what’s left can be right,
What’s left can be right

Two nights complete
everyone’s asleep
and I want to say these words to you
I’ll be your hand take me as I am, I just wanna be with you
Take me as I am, cause I’m going
I was too scared to start now I’m too scared to let go
Take me as I am, Cause I’m growing
but its so hard to tell when I’m not used to this soul
Take me as I am, cause I’m going
I was too scared to start now I’m too scared to let go
Take me as I am, Cause I’m growing
but its so hard to tell when I’m not used to this soul
I lift my voice to sing out
Let the sound of my heart bring out
These hands aren’t holding me down
Never again will I be with out
I need to feel my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I’m up there’s no more time
To try to mess with this design
Two nights complete
everyone’s asleep
and I want to say these words to you
I’ll be your hand take me as I am, I just wanna be with you
Take me as I am, cause I’m going
I was too scared to start now I’m too scared to let go
Take me as I am, Cause I’m growing
but its so hard to tell when I’m not used to this soul
Take me as I am, cause I’m going
I was too scared to start now I’m too scared to let go
Take me as I am, Cause I’m growing
but its so hard to tell when I’m not used to this soul
