Seen her on the streets
|
Selling her body just to make ends meet
|
Everyday is the same sad story
|
She prays but no one answers back
|
Her soul never had a chance
|
Don't you laugh at her misfortune
|
Anyone can take a fall
|
If you were walking in those footsteps
|
You wouldn't laugh at all
|
|
[Chorus]
|
What if it was you standing on the street
|
What if it was you without enough to eat
|
What if it was you with nothing else to lose
|
What if it was you standing in those shoes
|
What if it was you all alone out there
|
Didn't have a choice, didn't a prayer
|
What if it was you down on your luck
|
What if it was you and no one gave a fuck
|
|
He's there everyday
|
Asking hey Mister can you spare some change
|
Why don't you get a job
|
Is all they say
|
You live with no such thing as pride
|
You're fighting just to stay alive
|
Don't you laugh as his misfortune
|
Anyone could take his place
|
If you were walking in those footsteps
|
Would you feel the same
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
What if everyday you woke up without knowin' how you gon' eat
|
Where you gon' sleep
|
What if hard times hit you
|
Woudl you be so quick to judge another
|
Judge your brother
|
Or would you feel how it would be in their shoes
|
Don't you laugh at her misfortune
|
Anyone can take a fall
|
If you were walking in those footsteps
|
You wouldn't laugh at all
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
