"Walk a Mile in My Shoes"

"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.
