Verse 1
I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup
Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up.
Said he’s hungry, I don’t think that it’s true
I bet my dollar he’ll go spend it on booze
I turned my back on him and began to walk away
But then I heard a little voice inside me say
What if it’s really true, what if he’s hungry?
What if it’s not for him, does he have a family?
How’d you get here,
How’d you end up on the street?
Where did it go wrong?
Wonder what I do if it were me?
Chorus
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see
When you look @ me?
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead.
Verse 2
It was 90 degrees in the summer heat,
She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet.
This is America, doesn’t she know?
Somebody take her shoppin’, buy her some clothes.
She came up to me, I didn’t understand a word.
I was about to leave, then another thought occurred,
She might be really lost, scared, and frustrated
I should try again the see what she’s sayin’.
How’d you get here,
How’d you get so far from home?
What was it that made you leave?
Wonder what I do if it, were me?
Chorus
A new point of view...
A walk in your shoes (shoes)
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see (See what you see...)
When you look @ me?
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead...
I wanna see, oh
Oh see what you, see...
And I wanna feel...
Oh, feel just what you feel, oh...
Chorus
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes (A walk in your shoes)
I wish I could get inside your head (Get inside your head...)
To see what you see
(When you look @ me?) When you look @ me?
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead.
A new point of view (I want a new point of view)
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get inside your head
To see what you see (I wanna see)
(Oh...)When you look @ me?
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead.
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead...
Cause I could’ve lived your life instead.
