Come & Walk a Mile

Written By:  Next Step HIV Campference

 

VERSE 1 

When I look around

Can’t believe what I’m seeing

People throwing down

Like they got no feelings

 

Talkin’ trash – Spreading lies

Gossip, rumors and despise

Is this how we want to live?

What happened to the love and

The way we give?

 

PRE-CHORUS

Tell me – is it really okay, mm

To look the other way, sayin’

“Haters gonna hate – so there’s no escape

Just live your life afraid…”

 

How can we look away

Lettin’ it go on each and every day

We need to stand up

Put your hands up if you’re with me say

 

CHORUS

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

Before you criticize – realize if you

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

You won’t hesitate to stop the hate

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

Together we can make it better

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

 “Come & Walk a Mile”

 

VERSE 2

Why – we hurt on each other

Where is – our respect for one another?

Why do we stand by and watch each other bleed?

 

If we gonna make this change

We need to heal this pain

Be bold enough to make others see

Through the invisibility

 

PRE-CHORUS

Tell me – is it really okay, mm

To look the other way, sayin’

“Haters gonna hate – so there’s no escape

Just live your life afraid…”

 

How can we look away

Lettin’ it go on each and every day

We need to stand up

Put your hands up if you’re with me say

 

CHORUS

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

Before you criticize – realize if you

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

You won’t hesitate to stop the hate

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

Together we can make it better

Come & walk a mile in these shoes

 

BRIDGE

Why do we choose to believe

That there’s a difference between you and me?

Playing on insecurities

Instead of praying for our humanity

I just know if we reach out – speak out

And choose to hold these truths

We can carry on – and live strong
