If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour |
|
If we could find a way to get inside each other's minds |
|
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego |
|
I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind |
|
Walk a mile in my shoes |
|
Walk a mile in my shoes |
|
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse |
|
Walk a mile in my shoes |
|
Now, your world you see a round you is just a reflection |
|
In the law of common sense you gotta reap just what you so |
|
So, unless you will live the life of total perfection |
|
You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw |
|
Yes, and yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another |
|
Cause we don't think, and he don't wear his hair just like you do |
|
Well, he may, he may be common people |
|
But he's your brother |
|
And when you strike out and try to hurt him |
|
It's a-hurtin' you |
|
Ah, now- -walk a mile in my shoes |
|
Walk a mile in my shoes |
|
I said, before you accuse, criticise, and abuse |
|
You walk a mile in my shoes |
|
On, now, there are people on reservations |
|
And there are people in ghettos |
|
And over there, but the grace of God, go you and I |
|
Ah, if I only, if I only had the wings of a little angel |
|
Don't you know that I'd fly, I'd fly, I'd fly to the mountain |
|
And then I'd cry |
