Lyrics for Song: Walk a Mile in My Shoes
Lyrics for Album: On Stage: February 1970
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 your own ego I believe you'd be
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind
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 hair the same way you do
Well, I may be common people
But I'm your brother
And when you strike out
To try to hurt me
It's hurtin' you, Lord have mercy
Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And brother there, but for the grace of God,
Go 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
