Lyrics for Song: Walk a Mile in My Shoes
Lyrics for Album: The Best of Brenda Lee [Music Club] [1998]
(Joe South)
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 minds
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
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.
Now, your world you see a round you is just a reflection
In the law of common sense you gotta reap just what you so
So, unless you will live the life of total perfection
You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw.
Yes, and yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another
'Cause we don't think, and he don't wear his hair just like you do
Well, he may, he may be common people but he's your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt him it's a-hurtin' you.
Ah, now- -walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
I said, before you accuse, criticise, and abuse
You walk a mile in my shoes.
On, now, there are people on reservations
And there are people in ghettos
And over there, but the grace of God, go you and I
Ah, if I only, if I only had the wings of a little angel
Don't you know that I'd fly, I'd fly, I'd fly to the mountain
And then I'd cry...
