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 walm 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 whowould 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 walm 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 walm a mile in that man''s shoes

Stop and think for awhile
Could you walk a mile in that man''s shoes
