Instead

verse 1

I saw him shakin his change in a coffee cup
I swore a dollar but I told the man to give up
( said he's hungry I don't that's it
bet my dollar he'll go spend it on boo's
I turned my back again and began to walk away
but then I heard the little voice inside me say
(but what if it's really true
what if he's hungry
what if it's not for him
does he have a family).
(How did you get here
how did you end up on the street
where did it go wrong )
wonder what I do if it were me.

[chorus]

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 of lived your life instead.

[verse 2]

it was 90 degrees in the summer heat
she was vailed in black all the down to her feet this is
(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
she came up to me then another thought ocurred
( she might be really getting frusterated
but then I'll try again to see what she's sayin').

( how did you get here how did you get far from home
what was it that made you leave wonder
what I do if it were me ).

[Bridge]

I want to see ohoh
I'll just see what see yeah
And I want to feel ohoh
I feel just what you feel yeah.
