lyrics

check out these new boots I wear
they’re a little more than a dollar a pair
they have much for you if you seek
it’s about the years they spent outside
walking though the snow and ice outside
nothing matter how long they don't care
See I want to buy new shoes
but they’ve walked through black and blue
and they don’t fit any other feet
their footprints are to me
beneath the snowy earth and sea
like the years we seek they’re pieces of me

I said I’m alright
said I’m ok
I said I’m alright
I’m with you today

back to the story you say

check out these footprints I’ve laid
like the steps of snow they’ll melt away
but there’s some ice that may never fade
like the faces of the holy grail
all the love and hate and pain exhaled
someday it might wash all away
I won’t cause it today
I won’t cause it today
today is for watching snowflakes fall on their way
I’m saving this moment in time
saving for another time
when somehow it’s a better place

I said I’m alright
said I’m ok
I said I’m alright
I’m with you today
