I've seen the sun rise and I've seen it fall I've been through dark times but still see the beauty of it all I've had the stars and planets all aligned Sometimes you win sometimes you get taken for a ride but I won't apologize, no, that would be my demise I stand here and recognize I've paid my dues I'm growing to be more comfortable in my shoes Lived long enough to have some enemies But a jury of my peers would say that they loved me I don't always seem to have the perfect words And if I say the wrong thing then I'm sure to be heard but Even monkeys fall from trees You can't preach courage from your knees, I'm standing my ground even if I lose I'm growing to be more comfortable in my shoes And isn't it a shame that so many think the same My luck is down the river's low I can't stay here there's some place else I've got to go To find me I shifted forward just to fall right back But learned to see abundance where others only see lack You play that win or lose where some are slighted There are ways to play the game so that everyone's invited But I follow what the wisest say I can't please them all anyway I co-create the destiny I choose I'm growing to be more comfortable I'm growing to be more comfortable I'm growing to be comfortable in my shoes
