We've all seen enough wrong and right    To know everything's not black and white    There's always something in between    No matter how long or well you live    You don't get anything you don't give    Still no slate is clean    For better or worse, anybody can       Take a look around and find a better man    Upright no matter how he's faring    No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing    The shoes he's wearing    They don't make the man       So many people out running around    Handicapped before they hit the ground    Thinking there's nowhere to go    Shouldn't we all be looking for ways    To keep on seeing our better days    We're not chained to what we know    But if your eyes are open and your mind is free    There's no tellin' what a man can be       Upright no matter how you're faring    No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing    The shoes you're wearing    They don't make the man    But if you can't walk through the best of times    and the worst of times    Find your feet still walking the line    You'll never carry the load worth bearing       No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing    The shoes you're wearing    They won't make the man    The shoes you're wearing    They won't make the man
