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
