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, mm-hmm

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, mm-hmm

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey, 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're gonna reap just what you sow, yes you will

So unless you've lived a life of total perfection

You better be careful of every stone that you should throw, yeah

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, mm-hmm

Well, I may be common people, but I'm your brother

And when you strike out and try to hurt me, it's hurtin' you, Lord, have mercy

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey, 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, yeah, yeah

And if I only had the wings of a little angel

Yeah, don't you know I'd fly to the top of the mountain and then I'd cry, hey

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Better walk a mile in my shoes

Drop what you're doin'

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Oh, before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes, yeah

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes
