Walk a Mile In My Shoes - Ray Stevens

If I could be you and you could be me

For just one hour, oh yeah

If we could find a way

To get inside each other’s mind

If you could see you through my eyes

Instead your ego, oh yeah

I believe you’d be surprised to see

That you’ve been blind, oh yeah

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

Now your whole world you see around you

Is just a reflection, yes, it is

And the law of karma says you gonna reap

You gonna reap just what you sow, yes, you will

So, unless you live, unless you live the life

Full of perfection, oh yeah

Ah, you better be careful of every stone

That you should throw

And yet we spend the day throwin' stones

At one another, yes, we do, have mercy

'Cause I don’t think or wear my hair

The way you do, all right

Well, I may be, I may be common people

But I’m your brother, yes, I am

And when you strike out and try to hurt me

Lord, it’s hurtin' you

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

Now there are people on reservations

And down in the ghetto, whoa yeah

And brother, there, there by the grace of God

God, go you and I, yes, we do

And if I only, only had the wings

Of a little angel, oh yeah

Lord 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

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
