I saw him shaking his
Change in a coffee cup
Asked for a dollar but
I told the man to give it up
Said he's hungry I don't
Think that it's true
I bet my dollar he'll go
Spend it on booze
I turned my back on him
And began to walk away
But then I heard a little
Voice inside me say
What if it's really true
What if he's hungry
What if it's not for him
Does he have a family
How'd you get here
How'd you end up
On the street
Where did it go wrong
Wonder what I'd do
If it were me
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish I could get
Inside your head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause I could've lived
Your life instead
It was 90 degrees
In the summer heat
She was veiled in black
All the way down to her feet
This is America
Doesn't she know
Somebody take her
Shopping buy her
Some clothes
She came up to me
I didn't understand a word
I was about to leave then
Another thought occurred
She might be really lost
Scared and frustrated
I should try again to see
What she's saying
How'd you get here
How'd you get so
Far from home
What was it that
Made you leave
Wonder what I'd
Do if it were me
View....
Shoes....
Inside your head
See what you see
I could've lived your life
Instead
I wanna see oh
Oh see what you see
And I want to feel
Oh feel just what you feel
Oooh....
A walk in your shoes
Get inside your head
When you look at me
I could've lived
Your life instead
I want a new point of view
I want to see ooh....
What you see in me
Instead....
Instead
