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
Verse 2:
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
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

Review about Instead Amazing | Reviewer: Kia | 6/25/2007
This song totally describes how I feel about life. I believe there is a very tiny thin line that we arent someone else. That homeless person you look through...that might have been you but by the grace of God. We dont have any guarantee that tomorrow something wont happen to change our entire lives forever. Anything can happen to any of us in a heartbeat, so why wouldnt you treat every living being with compassion? Tomorrow it might be you.
