Walk a Mile in My Shoes Ray Stevens

If I could be you and you could be me
For just one hour, oh yeah
If we could find a way
To get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead your ego, oh yeah
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind, oh yeah

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

Now your whole world you see around you
Is just a reflection, yes, it is
And the law of karma says you gonna reap
You gonna reap just what you sow, yes, you will
So, unless you live, unless you live the life
Full of perfection, oh yeah
Ah, you better be careful of every stone
That you should throw

And yet we spend the day throwin' stones
At one another, yes, we do, have mercy
'Cause I don't think or wear my hair
The way you do, all right
Well, I may be, I may be common people
But I'm your brother, yes, I am
And when you strike out and try to hurt me
Lord, it's hurtin' you
