Walk A Mile In My Shoes

walk a mile in my shoes and you will see what i see
i see building burning and dying trees
i see people dying and the elderly
walk a mile in my shoes
and you will see what i see
friendships ending and hopes of families
dogs barking and rampid police

walk a mile in my shoes
and you will see what i see
beautiful lush gardens on the banks of the Mississippi
walk a mile in my shoes and see what i see
the bustling city of Chicago
and the countryside of Tennessee
a hope for a black president
a new beginning for our country

walk a mile in my shoes
and you will see what i see
children getting better educations
and a lame economy
people not getting judged by color
but, by the content of their character

walk a mile in shoes
and you will see what i see
the heart of the country
and people of every color, race, and creed uniting
global warming and ice glaciers melting

walk a mile in my shoes
and see what i see
you would be surprised
how everything looks differently
