Instead Lyrics - Stacie Orrico - Stacie Orrico

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's true 

I bet my dollar he'd just go 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 it 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've 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've lived your life instead 

I want to see... see what you see 

And I want to feel... 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've lived your life instead (2x)
