Coldcut Walk A Mile

If I could be you

And you could be me

For just one hour



If you could find a way

To get inside

Each others mind



If you could see you

Trough my eyes

Instead of your ego



I believe youd be

Surprised to see

That youve been blind



Now the whole world

You see around you

Is just a reflection



And of karma

Says you be

Just what you saw



So unless you

Lived your life

Of total perfection



You gotta be careful

Of every stone

That you should throw



Have you ever spend the day

Throwing stones

At one another



Cause I dont think

Or wear my heat

The same way you do



Well I maybe

Come in people

But Im still your brother



And when you strike out

Trying to hurt me

[Its a burning fuse]



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



Dont you know id fly

To the top of the mountain

And then Id cry



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
