From:
I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup
Asked for a dollar but I told the man to give it up
Said heīs hungry I donīt think thatīs true
I bet my dollar heīd just 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 itīs really true what if heīs hungry
What if itīs not for him, does he have a family
Howīd you get here
Howīd you end up on the street
Where did it go wrong
Wonder what Iīd do if it were me
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 at me
Cause I couldīve lived your life instead
It was 90 degrees in the summer heat
She was veiled in black all the way down to her feet
This is America doesnīt she know
Somebody take her shopping, buy her some clothes
She came up to me, I didnīt understand a word
I was about to leave then another thought occurred
She might be really lost, scared and frustrated
I should try again to see what sheīs saying
Howīd you get here
Howīd you get so far from home
What was it that made you leave
Wonder what Iīd do if it were me
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 at me
Cause I couldīve lived your life instead
I want to see....see what you see
And I want to feel.... feel just what you feel
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 at me
Cause I couldīve lived your life instead (2x)
