"Walk A Mile In My Shoes" Lyrics

If I could be you, if 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
Hey before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.

Now if your world you see around you
Is just a reflection
And the law of carma says you gonna reap
Just what you sow

So unless you've lived the life
Of total perfection
You'd better be careful
Of every stone that you should throw.

And if we spend the day
Throwin' stones at one another
Cause I don't think or wear my hair
Same way you do

Well I may be common people
but I your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me
It's a-hurtin' you. Lord have Mercy!

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey before you abuse, criticise, 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

And if I only
Had the wings of a little angel, Yea
Don't you know I'd fly to the top of a mountain
And then I'd cry...

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey before you abuse, criticise, and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes.

"Try to know what you're doin"

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey before you abuse, criticise, and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.
