My Father’s Shoes

Lyrics
I would be thankful for the gifts that were given I will not turn my back on the past You should not resent me for moving forward I cannot rectify all the things that went bad for you I cannot move where these four walls surround me Even though it may be right for you I cannot see through another man's eyes I will not walk in my father's shoes You gave me the reasons that have long been forgotten An escape from a life that was not your own But you passed down your possessions to the generation And here you will live in your father's home But is it the brave that destroy the circle There are no heroes who gamble and lose I do not resemble the face in the picture I will not walk in my father's shoes I will not walk in my father's shoes I cannot approve of what you have created I cannot impress you with all that I see I never have asked you for too many favors I never have asked you to be more like me
