The Exchange Student

Someone else walked in my shoes
Lived a long life
And was known by all


Had a family
Had a lover, had romance
And had some friends too 


Worked from 9 to 5
Paid his tax
And longed for Saturday's feel


Someone else worked in my shoes
He lived  a long life 
And was known by all


Went through troubles
He went through joy
Felt betrayed and accepted  by all


He had regrets
He had rejoice
He left his mark, on all he met


Someone else walked in my shoes
He lived a long life
And was known by all


And when he was gone
I came as new
And walked a life time in his shoes


And this would be my family tree
Someone else walked in my shoes
He lived a long life
And was known by all
