I’m walking with both feet in shackles
Each step adds to the pain
I’m walking my way out of trouble
I’m walking to find peace again
My shoulders are loaded with burdens
Too heavy to bear their weight
I’m walking through the rain
I’m walking through the clay
I’m walking no matter what they say

Chorus :
It’s a tough road
There too many potholes and obstacles
It’s a tough and bumpy road
But my shoes are made of strength and hope
My shoes will carry me home


I’m walking daunted by failure
Frightened to fall again
I’m walking down the canyon
I’m walking over hills
I’m walking through the desert to find my oasis
I am walking, I’m walking
I’m walking, yes I am

Chorus:
It’s a tough road
There too many potholes and obstacles
It’s a tough and bumpy road
But my shoes are made of strength and hope
My shoes will carry me home
