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 walk 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, who would 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 walk 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 walk a mile in that man's shoes?   Stop and think for awhile, could you walk a mile in that man's shoes?
