Instead 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 hes hungry i dont think its true
I bet my dollar hed 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 its really true what if hes hungry
What if its not for him, does he have a family

Howd you get here
Howd you end up on the street
Where did it go wrong
Wonder what id do if it were me

[Chorus]
A new point of view
A walk in your shoes
I wish i could get inside you head
To see what you see
When you look at me
Cause i couldve 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 doesnt she know
Somebody take her shopping, buy her some clothes
She came up to me, I didnt understand a word
I was about to leave then another thought occurred
She might really be lost, scared and frustrated
I should try again to see what shes saying

Howd you get here
Howd youget so far from home
What was it that made you leave
Wonder what id do if it was me

[Chorus]
