Walk A Mile In My Shoes
Coldcut
If I could be you and you could be me just for one hour
If we could find a way to get inside each others mind
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 yeah
Before you abuse
Criticize and accuse walk a mile in my shoes
Well, your whole world you see around you is just a reflection and the low of common says you're gonna reap just what you sow
So unless you've lived a life of total perfection
You'd better be careful of every stone that you should throw
Yet we spend the day throwin' stones at one another cause I don't think of wear my hair the same way you do
Well, I may be common people but I'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to hurt me it's hurting you
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
There are people on reservations and out in the ghettos and brother
There, but for the grace of god go you and I
If I only had the wings of little angels don'tcha
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 better walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Oh, 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
