Paradise the beach
The sun, the sand, the sky, the seas
Barefoot and just as happy as could be
No more cold or snow
Just purple orange sunset glow
The soot of all the past between your toes
But put your gray shoes on
And hunker down til dawn
It's still a little while til the sun
Your blistered feet they bleed
And all your friends and enemies
Have seen the light that you can't see
And the prison that subdues your feet
Remains, won't go away
Leave it all behind
For the life you'll live and the friends you'll find
Barefoot is burning, still you walk the line
You know you want it too
But shame and blame became your shoes
You took a fleeting glance and then you knew
To put your gray shoes on
And hunker down til dawn
It's still a little while til the sun
Your blistered feet they bleed
And all your friends and enemies
Have seen the light that you can't see
And the prison that subdues your feet
Remains, won't go away
So put your gray shoes on
And hunker down til dawn
It's still a little while til the sun
Your blistered feet they bleed
And all your friends and enemies
Have seen the light that you can't see
And the prison that subdues your feet
Remains, won't go away
