elvis preesly quote

" 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.
