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've 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 whole world you see around you
Is just a re flection
And the law of common sense,
you reap just what you sow, oh yeah
So unless you've lived
a life of total perfection
You better be careful of every stone
that you should throw
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse
Criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
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 calling people,
but I'm your brother
Yes I am, and when you strike out
And try to hurt me, it's hurting you
Walk, walk a walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
There are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
Brother there, but for the grace of God,
Oh you and I
And if I only had the wings
Of a little angel
Don't you know I'd fly
To the top of a mountain
Then I'd cry
Walk a mile in my shoes
Before you're accused,
criticized and abused
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just keep a -walkin'
Walk a mile in my shoes
Boy, you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
