If i could be you and you could be me for just one hour oh yeah
And if we could find a way to get inside each other's mind oh yeah
If you could see you through my eyes instead of your ego alright

I believe you'd be surprised to see that you'd been blind oh yeah

Walk a mile in my shoes walk a mile in my shoes

Before you abuse criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes


Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another oh yeah
'cause i don't think or wear my hair the same way that you do
Well i maybe common people but i'm your brother oh yeah

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

And oh 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 oh yeah


Oh there are people on the reservation and down in the ghettos oh yeah
And brother but for the grace of god it could be you and i oh yeah
And if i only had the wings of a little angel oh yeah don't you know i'd fly

To the top of the mountain and then i would cry

Oh walk a mile in my shoes oh yeah walk a mile in my shoes alright

And before you abuse criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
Oh walk a mile in my shoes oh yeah walk a mile in my shoes
