Artist : Stacie Orrico Song : Instead
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 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
