Woke up cold one Tuesday
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
I felt like there was something
Missing in my day-to-day life
So I quickly opened the wardrobe
Pulled out some jeans
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'm running late
And I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand-new shoes #
Woke up late one Thursday
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
And I felt like there were two days missing
As I focused on the time
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 of my friends
All dancing round and round
And I thought
Hello, new shoes; bye bye, blues
Repeat #
Take me wandering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking till the break of dawn
Take me wandering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking till the break of dawn
Repeat # × 2
