Walk a Mile in My Shoes — текст песни (Bryan Ferry)

(south)



If I could be you and you could be me for just one hour

If we could find a way to get inside each others minds

If you could see you, through my eyes, instead of your ego

I believe youd be, surprised to see, that youd 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 youve, lived a life of total perfection

Youd better be careful of every stone that you should throw



And yet we spend the day throwing stones at one another

cause I dont think or wear my hair the same way you do

Well I may be common people but Im your brother

And when you strike out and try to hurt me its 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

Dont you know Id fly, to the top of the mountain, and then Id cry
