Take a second look and reevaluate
The way you look upon yourself
And everything on which you base
All your judgements of the people
To whom you can't relate
I wonder what you'd say
If you were in our shoes
If you had to make our moves
Just to get by
If you had to sing our blues
And you had to pay our dues
And walk our path in life
Are you (Are you) happy now?
You burned the book and danced on the ashes
I can't tell you exactly how
To turn the page (Turn the page!)
Do you ever think about
The consequences of
Anything you do?
I wonder what you'd say
If you were in our shoes
If you had to make our moves
Just to get by
If you had to sing our blues
And you had to pay our dues
And walk our path in life
If you were in our shoes (Our shoes)
And you had to make our moves
If you had to sing our blues
And you had to pay our dues
If you had the guts to stand where I stand
And come out the other side the man that I am
If you would stop judging me
Then you'd see
What it's like to walk our path in life
