Besedila: Stacie Orrico. Stacie Orrico. Instead.

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'd just 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 you 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 have 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

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 have lived your life instead

I wanna see,oh, oh see what you see
And I wanna feel, oh, oh feel just what you feel

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 have lived your life instead

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 have lived your life instead
'Cause I could have lived your life instead
'Cause I could have lived your life instead
