Текст песни
He'd known the ten commandments from the time that he was five
But in the jungles of Vietnam there was no wrong or right
He was a decorated hero when he stepped down off the train
But some folks in his hometown 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 until you've been there too
Stop and think for a while could you walk a mile in that man's shoes
There was no one there to hold her hand the night the baby came
Just a couple waiting down the hall to 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 until you've been there too
Stop and think for a while could you walk a mile in that woman's shoes
They cursed a man, they kicked him as they dragged him down the street
They nailed him to a cross, soldiers gambolled at his feet
Although his heart was broken from all they 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 until you've been there too
Stop and think for a while could you walk a mile in that man's shoes
Just stop and think for a while could
You walk a mile in that man's shoes
