Walk a Mile in My Shoes Lyrics

(South)

 

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

And before you abuse

Criticise and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes

Now the whole world you see around you is just a reflection

And the law of Karma, says you reap, just what you sow

So unless you've, lived a life of total perfection

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

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

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

And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's a-hurtin you

There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos

And brother, there but for the grace of God go you and I

If I only, had the wings, of a little angel

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