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 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

before you abuse

criticize and accuse

walk a mile in my shoes

now

your world you see a round you is just a reflection

in the law of common sense you gotta reap just what you so

so

unless you will live the life of total perfection

you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw

yes

and yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another

cause we don't think

and he don't wear his hair just like you do

well

he may

he may be common people

but he's your brother

and when you strike out and try to hurt him

it's a-hurtin' you

ah

now- -walk a mile in my shoes

walk a mile in my shoes

i said

before you accuse

criticise

and abuse

you walk a mile in my shoes

on

now

there are people on reservations

and there are people in ghettos

and over there

but the grace of god

go you and i

ah

if i only

if i only had the wings of a little angel

don't you know that i'd fly

i'd fly

i'd fly to the mountain

and then i'd cry
