Walk A Mile In My Shoes
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 mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind, oh yeah
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hey
Before you criticize, abuse and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hey, yeah
This whole world you see around you
Is just a reflection, aha
This law is common
Yeah, you gotta reap just what you sow
So unless you live the life of total perfection
You better be careful for every stone that you throw
And yet we spend days throwing stones at one another
'Cause I don't think I wear my hair the same as you, aha
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hey
Before you criticize, abuse and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, aha
I may be common people
But I'm still your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me
Don't you know you're hurting yourself, hey
There are peoples out on reservations
And in the ghettos, now dig this
If I only had wings of an angel
Don't you know I'd fly to the top of the mountain and cry, cry
Oh, walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
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 of your ego
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind, oh yeah
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hey
Before you criticize, abuse and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hey, yeah
This whole world you see around you
Is just a reflection, aha
This law is common
Yeah, you gotta reap just what you sow
So unless you live the life of total perfection
You better be careful for every stone that you throw
And yet we spend days throwing stones at one another
'Cause I don't think I wear my hair the same as you, aha
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hey
Before you criticize, abuse and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, aha
I may be common people
But I'm still your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me
Don't you know you're hurting yourself, hey
There are peoples out on reservations
And in the ghettos, now dig this
If I only had wings of an angel
Don't you know I'd fly to the top of the mountain and cry, cry
Oh, walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
