Lyrics
When did this world split off into us and them
I won't believe that's the way it's meant to be
I know there's got to be some simple truth deep in every human heart
And if we opened up our eyes maybe we'd see, if we could...
Chorus:
Dream in the other man's shoes, and walk a mile with the other man's words
Things can seem so black and white until you step back from the fight and try to dream in the other man's shoes
Where is it written that we can never live in peace and that the price of freedom must be paid in war
When I hear people say such things I can only feel the loss of all the ones who gave their lives before
If they could they'd tell us...
Chorus:
Bridge:
Maybe sword in one hand, olive branch in the other is the only way to keep us safe and free
And trusting in another's eyes when you've heard so many mother's cry is so hard now, still we've gotta learn how to...
Chorus:
Dream in the other man's shoes, and walk a mile with the other man's words
We can never set things right until we step back from the fight and try to dream in the other man's shoes
