[Verse 1]
If I could be you, if 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, I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind

[Chorus]
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

Now if we spend the day
Throwing stones at one another
'Cause I don't think, 'cause I don't think I wear my hair the same way you do

Well, I may be common people
But I'm your brother
When you strike out
To try to hurt me
It's hurtin' you
Lord have mercy
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother there, but for the grace of God
Go you and me

If I only had the wings
Of a little angel
Don't you know, I'd fly to the top of a mountain
And then I'd cry, cry, cry

[Chorus] [x2]
