Could You Walk A Mile Lyrics

(Jimmy Alan Stewart/Jim Rudd)



He'd known the ten commandments

From the time he was five

But in the jungles if Vietnam there was no wrong or right

He was a decorated hero when he stepped down off the train

But some folks in his home town only made him feel ashamed



Could you walk a mile in that man's shoes

When you have no choice how can you choose

Don't be quick to judge til you've been there too

Stop and think for awhile

Could you walm a mile in that man's shoes

 

There was no one there to hold her hand the night her baby came

Just a couple waiting down the hall whowould give her child a name

At seventeen she learned the meaning of a mother's love

To give her baby life she knew she had to give it up



Could you walk a mile in that woman's shoes

When you have no choice how can you choose

Don't be quick to judge til you've been there too

Stop and think for awhile

Could you walm a mile in that woman's shoes



They cursed him and they kicked him as

They dragged him down the street

They nailed him to a cross and soldiers gambled at his feet

And though his heart was broken from all they'd put him through

He said Father please forgive them

They know not what they do



Could you walk a mile in that man's shoes

When you have no choice how can you choose

Don't be quick to judge til you've been there too

Stop and think for awhile

Could you walm a mile in that man's shoes



Stop and think for awhile

Could you walk a mile in that man's shoes
