"Instead" is a song by Stacie Orrico
Lyrics
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 bvack 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
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
I want to see....see what you see
And I want to feel.... feel just what you feel
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
