Bryan Ferry - Walk a Mile in My Shoes lyrics

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 minds
If you could see you, through my eyes
Instead of your ego
I believe you'd be, surprised to see
That you'd been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes and before you abuse
Criticise 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've
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
Hair the same way you do
Well I may be common people
But i'm your brother
And when you strike out and try to
Hurt me it's a hurtin you

There are people on reservations and
Out in the ghettos 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 the mountain, and then I'd cry
