"A MILE IN YOUR SHOES" by Larry Cromie
A song written by Larry Cromie for the Foundation of the Parade of nations
When I walk a mile in your shoes
When I try to know what it's like to be you
When I feel the things that you do
Will I understand the life you choose
When I walk a mile, in your shoes
We all walk our own road
We all have to find our way
We all have our own load
We all carry everyday
When I walk a mile in your shoes
When I try to know what it's like to be you
When I feel the things that you do
Will I understand the life you choose
When I walk a mile, in your shoes
What some see as black and white's just different shades of grey
As different as things might appear, we are all the same
When I walk a mile in your shoes
When I try to know what it's like to be you
When I feel the things that you do
Will I understand the life you choose
When I walk a mile, in your shoes...
