 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'd been blind

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

 Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

 walk a mile in my shoes

 Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection

 And the law of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow

 So unless you've lived a life of total perfection

 Mm-mm, you'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw

 Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another

 'cause I don't think or wear my hair 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 a 'hurtin you,

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

 Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

 walk a mile in my shoes

 There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos

 And brother, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I

 If I only had the wings of little angels, don'tcha 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

 Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

 walk a mile in my shoes

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

 Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

 walk a mile in my shoes

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

 Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse,

 walk a mile in my shoes
