Coldcut - Walk A Mile lyrics

rate me

If I could be you

And 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

Trough my eyes

Instead of your ego

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

And before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes

Now the whole world

You see around you

Is just a reflection

And the law of karma

Says you reap

Just what you sow

So unless you

Lived a life

Of total perfection

You'd better be careful

Of every stone

That you should throw

And yet we spend the day

Throwing stones

At one another

Cause I don't think

Or wear my hat

The same way you do

Well I may be

Common people

But I'm still your brother

And when you strike out

Trying to hurt me

It's hurting you

(2x)

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

And before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes

There are people

On reservations

And out in the ghettos

And brother there

Before 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 the mountain

And then I'd cry

(4x)

Walk a mile in my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes

And before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Walk a mile in my shoes
