Songtext Walk a mile in my shoes Ray Stevens

Walk a mile in my shoes

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
Hey, before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Better walk a mile in my shoes Walk a mile in my shoes, walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, 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, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes
