If I could be you
And you could be me
For just one hour
Oh, yeah
If we could find a way
To get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead your ego
Oh, yeah
I believe you'd be
Surprised to see
That you've been blind
Oh, yeah
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

You see around you
Is just a reflection
Yes, it is
And the law of karma
Says you gonna reap
Reap just what you sow
Yes, you will
So, unless you live
Unless you live the life
Of perfection, oh yeah
Ah, you better be careful
Of every stone

And yet we spend the day
Throwin' stones at one another
Yes, we do, have mercy
‘Cause I don't think
Or wear my hair
The way you do
All right
Well, I may be
I may be common people
But I'm your brother
Yes, I am
And when you strike out
And try to hurt me
Lord, it's hurtin' you
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Now there are people on reservations
And down in the ghetto
Whoa, yeah
And brother, there, there by the grace of God
God, go you and I
Yes, we do
And if I only, only had the wings
Of a little angel
Oh, yeah
Lord you know, I'd fly
To the top of the mountain
And then I'd cry
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Hey, before you abuse
