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 mind
Uh huh
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead of your ego, I believe you'd be
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you'd been blind, uh huh
Walk a mile in my shoes, huh
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Yeah, before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Now if we spend the day
Throwin' stones at one another
Cause I don't think cause I don't think
Or wear my hair same way you do
Uh huh, well I may be
Common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out to try to hurt me
It's a hurtin' you. Lord have mercy
Walk a mile in my shoes hoh
Walk a mile in my shoes yeah
Yeah before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother there for the grace of God
Go you and I, uh huh
If I only had the wings
Of a little angel
Don't you know I'd fly
To the top of a mountain
And then I'd cry (cry) cry (cry) cry
Just walk a mile in my shoes, hoh
Then walk a mile in my shoes, yoh
Yeah, yeah before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes, hoh
Walk a mile in my shoes,
Yeah, before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
