3. Walk A Mile In My Shoes

(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 mind
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
And before you abuse, critize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Now your whole world you see around you
Is just a reflection
And the law of common 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

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, critize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

And yet we spend the day throwin’ 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 hurtin’ you

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, critize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

There are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother there for the grace of God
Go you and I
If I only I had the wings
Of a little angel
Don’t you know, I’d fly to the top of the mountain
And then I’d dive

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, critize and accuse
walk a mile in my shoes
(Walk walk) Walk a mile in my shoes walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, critize and accuse walk a mile in my shoes
Keep on walking
(Walk walk) Walk a mile in my shoes (Walk walk) Walk a mile in my shoes
And before you abuse, critize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
