Walk a Mile in My Shoes lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I could be you, if you could be me
For just an 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Now the whole world you see around you
Is just a reflection
And the law of Karma says you're gonna reap
Just what you sow
So unless you live a life of total perfection
You’d better bе careful of every stonе
That you should throw

[Verse 3]
And if we spend our lives throwing stones
At one another
Cause I don't think or wear my hair
Same way as you
Well I may be "common people"
But I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me
It's hurting you
[Verse 4]
There are people on reservations
And down in the ghetto
And brothers, there, but by the grace of God
Go you and I
And if I only had the wings of an angel
Don't you know I'd fly to the top of the mountain
And then I'd cry…
