I'm looking and feeling quite sick
I felt like there was something missing
So I quickly opened the wardrobe
and a t-shirt that seemed clean
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
That were ripped around the seams
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me
Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything is right
I said, hey I put some new shoes on
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
Woke up late one Thursday
as I'm rubbing my eyes and I
Felt like there were two days missing
And I made my way to the kitchen
But I had to stop from the shock of what
I found a room full of all my friends
all are dancing round and round
And I thought hello new shoes
Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything is right
I said, hey I put some new shoes on
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
Take me wandering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn
Take me wandering through these streets
Where bright lights lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn
Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything is right
I said, hey I put some new shoes on
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything is right
I said, hey I put some new shoes on
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
