Walk a Mile in My Shoes - Joe South/Elvis Presley and The Jordanaires/Harry Belafonte & Lena Horne/Billy Eckstine

Walk a Mile in My Shoes

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 don't think, 'cause I don't think

Or wear my hair 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 have mercy

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 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

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 (3x)
