Walk a Mile Songtext

Walk a Mile Songtext
If I could be you
And you could be me
For just one hour
If you could find a way
To get inside
Each other′s mind
If you could see you
Trough my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you'd be
Surprised to see
That you′ve been blind
Now the whole world
You see around you
Is just a reflection
And of karma
Says you be
Just what you saw
So unless you
Lived your life
Of total perfection
You gotta be careful
Of every stone
That you should throw
Have you ever spend the day
Throwing stones
At one another
'Cause I don't think
Or wear my heat
The same way you do
Well I maybe
Come in people
But I′m still your brother
And when you strike out
Trying to hurt me
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
There are people
On reservations
And out in the ghetto′s
And brother there
Before 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
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 you could be me
For just one hour
If you could find a way
To get inside
Each other′s mind
If you could see you
Trough my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you'd be
Surprised to see
That you′ve been blind
Now the whole world
You see around you
Is just a reflection
And of karma
Says you be
Just what you saw
So unless you
Lived your life
Of total perfection
You gotta be careful
Of every stone
That you should throw
Have you ever spend the day
Throwing stones
At one another
'Cause I don't think
Or wear my heat
The same way you do
Well I maybe
Come in people
But I′m still your brother
And when you strike out
Trying to hurt me
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
There are people
On reservations
And out in the ghetto′s
And brother there
Before 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
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
