Instead

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's true I bet my dollar he'd 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 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'd 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 could've 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 doesn't she know Somebody take her shopping, 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 to see what she's saying How'd you get here How'd you get so far from home What was it that made you leave Wonder what I'd 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 could've 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 could've lived your life instead 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 could've lived your life instead Cause I could've lived your life instead Cause I could've lived your life instead
