Instead — текст песни (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 dont 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

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 have lived your life instead

Verse2:
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 must 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

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 have lived your life instead

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

Chorus(2x)

Cuz I could have lived your life instead(2x)
