Someone else's shoes

Curb those sharp words you could say
Pain only builds when we act this way
Take the time to understand
We're all made by the same hand

Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes
Can you take the pain and the abuse
Sometimes you don't know the whole truth
Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes

When you point the blame who's to say
The reason why people act this way
Everyone's got their scars to heal
But we all pretend that we can't feel

Push someone down then look away
How can we love ourselves when we act this way
We're all part of a master plan
Can you turn your cheek and take a stand

Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes
Can you take the pain and the abuse
Sometimes you don't know the whole truth
Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes

What's compasion the children say
Understanding the pain someone feels today
So don't you turn up your nose
Feed the hungry and give them clothes

One small act can change a life
Touch their soul taste their strife
Depression growing every day
Helping someone else makes yours go away

So can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes
Can you take the pain and the abuse
Sometimes you don't know the whole truth
Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes
Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes
Can you walk a mile in someone else's shoes?
