"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
- To Kill A Mockingbird
"Walk a Mile in My Shoes"
By Elvis Presley
If i could be you, if you could be me
For just one hour, if we could find a way
To get inside each other's mind
If you could see you through my eyes
Instead your own ego
I believe you'd be
I believe you'd be surprised to see
That you've been blind
Walk a mile in my shoes
Just walk a mile in my shoes
Before you abuse, criticize and accuse
Then walk a mile in my shoes
Now if we spend the day
Throwin' stones at one another
'cause I will,'cause I will think
To wear my hat the same way you do
Well, I may be common people
But I'm your brother
And when you tryin' to hurt me
It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy
Now there are people on reservations
And out in the ghetto
And whether they're for the grace of god
Or you and I,
If I only had wings of a little angel
Don't you know, I'd fly
To the top of the mountain
And then I'd cry, cry, cry
Reflection
What I think about this song is first don't judge a person if you don't know their pass or what they've been though. He also says he'd like the person to see their self through his eyes so that they can view their self and how they are acting how they've been blind.
