In Your Shoes (And Mine Too)

We can cultivate equanimity toward others by exchanging ourselves with them, realizing that all beings desire to be happy and avoid suffering just as we do.

Lyrics

      
I tried on your miniskirt, oh what a sight,
My legs are too hairy, it gave folks a fright!
You tried on my old blue jeans, way too wide,
Tripped on the cuffs, took a tumble outside.
We laughed ’til we cried, but hey, it’s true,
To see the world clear, gotta walk like you!
Oh, step inside, take a little ride,
See through my eyes, wear my foolish pride.
Trade your hat, trade your view,
I’ll be you and you’ll be me too!
You drew on a mustache, oh, what a mess,
Looked like a pirate, I must confess!
I tried your heels, wobbled ‘round,
Fell on my face right into the ground.
We laughed ’til we cried, but hey, it’s true,
To know someone well, gotta stand in their shoes!
Oh, step inside, take a little ride,
See through my eyes, wear my foolish pride.
Trade your hat, trade your view,
I’ll be you and you’ll be me too!
Maybe you’d run if you walked my road,
Maybe I’d fall if I carried your load.
Maybe we’d see that we’re not so far,
Not just the clothes, but the hearts that we are.
So I’ll wear your coat, you wear my tie,
Laugh at the mirror, but give it a try.
One step closer, that’s how it begins,
Trading our troubles, and learning to grin!
