Walk a Mile in My Shoes - Ruth Brown

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 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

Walk a mile in my shoes

Yeah, before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes

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 the 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

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

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
