" walk a mile in my shoes"
-Elvis Preesly
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
throwing' 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
dont you know,i'd fly
to the top of a mountain
and then i'd cry, cry, cry
reflection: i think it means that first you need to get to know the person before you criticize them or never judge anyone.
