Walk a mile in my shoes

just walk a mile in my shoes

Before you abuse criticize and accuse

Then walk a mile in my shoes



Now if we spend the day

Throwin' stones at one another

'Cause I will think, 'cause I will think

To wear my hat the same way you do

Well, I may be common people

But I'm your brother

And when you strike out

You're tryin' to hurt me

It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy



Now there are people on reservations

And out in the ghetto

And whether they're for the grace of God

Or you and I,

If I only had 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
