If I could be you, if you could be me
|
For just one hour, if we could find a way
|
To get inside each other's mind
|
If you could see you through my eyes
|
Instead your own ego I believe you'd be
|
I believe you'd be surprised to see
|
That you've been blind
|
|
Walk a mile in my shoes
|
just walk a mile in my shoes
|
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
|
Then walk a mile in my shoes
|
|
Now if we spend the day
|
Throwin' stones at one another
|
'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think
|
Or wear my hair the same way you do
|
Well, I may be common people
|
But I'm your brother
|
And when you strike out
|
You're tryin' to hurt me
|
It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy
|
|
Walk a mile in my shoes
|
just walk a mile in my shoes
|
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
|
Then walk a mile in my shoes
|
|
Now there are people on reservations
|
And out in the ghetto
|
And brother there, but, for the grace of God
|
Go you and I,
|
If I only had wings of a little angel
|
Don't you know, I'd fly
|
To the top of a mountain
|
And then I'd cry, cry, cry
|
|
Walk a mile in my shoes
|
just walk a mile in my shoes
|
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
|
Then walk a mile in my shoes (3X)
|
