My shoes are fitted just for my feet
why try to wear them
when they were made just for me?

The soles are rugged
but help put a spring in my strut  
You know that swag, that sway, that stride
you admire so much!

You laugh behind my back
Sometimes in my face
But you wonder about these shoes
that got me to this place

My shoes are fitted just for my feet
why try to wear them
when they were made just for me?

I invested in a pair
that would go the distance
I paid for practicality,...

You are that thing
that families are made of
and that evil force in bigotry
Mankind is ashamed of

You unite countries
and strengthen religions
Yet, your absence among them
causes great divisions

You're an immense force in nature
found right down to the atom
That irresistible connection
Eve had with Adam

You're a simple quick-fix item
in many how to do's
That forbidden odd elixir
tempting children to sniff you

You bind
You stick
You peel
and even crack

You last
You fail
You stain...

Leave me here under your stone
With broken, battered, and withered bones
Cast me into your pit of shameful distain
Watch me struggle, but never complain

Wish for my ashes and my very dust
Beg for my memory to go without fuss
Laugh, mock, scoff, and dance
And leave me there without a second glance

But know one thing and never forget
The blessing was in the day that we met
I am your past, yes, your mistakes and all
That rock under your feet making you tall

So I will fade away knowing my work here is done
Having made you the star...
