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'd been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes Walk a mile in my shoes And before you abuse, criticize and accuse Walk a mile in my shoes
Now your whole world you see around you is just a reflection And the law of karma, says you reap, just what you sow So unless you've lived a life of total perfection You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw
And yet we spend the day throwing stones at one another '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 and try to hurt me it's a-hurtin' you
Walk a mile in my shoes Walk a mile in my shoes And before you abuse, criticize and accuse Walk a mile in my shoes
There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos And brother, there but for the grace of God, go you and I If I only had the wings of a little angel Don't you know I'd fly to the top of the mountain and then I'd cry
Walk a mile in my shoes Walk a mile in my shoes And before you abuse, criticize and accuse Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk, walk, walk a mile in my shoes Walk a mile in my shoes And before you abuse, criticize and accuse Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk, walk, walk a mile in my shoes Walk, walk, walk a mile in my shoes Before you abuse, criticize and accuse Walk a mile in my shoes
