We all fear what we don't understand
Unable to cross over lines in the sand
Professing a brave and open mind
While we cling to the safety of our own kind
I gotta walk some in your shoes
before I can tell you how to live your life
and you gotta stand here stand here in my place
And maybe you'll have a little appreciation of who I am
It's all too easy to judge from a far
Or drive from the back seat of a car
It's different tale with our hands on the wheel
Soon out of control we know how others feel
I gotta walk some in your shoes
before I can tell you how to live your life
and you gotta stand here stand here in my place
And maybe you'll have a little appreciation of who I am
It's not all about being wrong or right
there's little room for difference when all things are black or white)
There's so much pain we could circumvent
If we could talk without an argument
Friend or foe we may never agree
But a little grace for you and some for me
I gotta walk some in your shoes
before I can tell you how to live your life
and you gotta stand here stand here in my place
And maybe you'll have a little appreciation
maybe you'll find a little inspiration
you'll get a little inclination
of who I am
