Lyrics

---

CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Before you throw the stones of judgement
Walk a mile in my shoes
 
Verse one: Watch the walls come tumbling down
Of all you’ve loved and called your own
Freedom scattered on the winds
Walk a mile
 
Verse two: Cut adrift from all you’ve known
The joys and hopes that built your home
No turning back- No never more
Walk a mile

CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Before you throw the stones of judgement
Walk a mile in my shoes

Verse three: Hold on tight to your dignity
Head held high in a strange country
Not as easy as it seems
Walk a mile

Verse four: Look no further than yourself
Amongst the shadows of your soul
To find the weak and dispossessed
Walk a mile

CHORUS:
Walk a mile in my shoes
Walk a mile in my shoes
Before you throw the stones of judgement
Walk a mile in my shoes (repeat as many times as you want)
Alternate third lines for the chorus:
On the road to understanding
Are you willing to forgive me?
