A meditation on developing compassion and empathy for others.

Lyrics

Sit by my side. Tell me your story.
I want to learn how you became you.
I want to see the world as you see it.
I want to walk a mile in your shoes.

You have known joy.
You have known sorrow.
You have built memories
Burnished like gold.
You are surrounded
By people who love you.
Tell me the stories that you call your own

Then as I hear, then as I listen,
I will discover the person you are
Then I’ll invite you into my story.
We’ll take a journey,
A walk through the days of our hearts.

Then as I hear, then as I listen,
I will discover the person you are
Then I’ll invite you into my story.
We’ll take a journey,
A walk through the days of our hearts.

Sit by my side. I’ll tell you my story.
You’ll touch the very core of my truth.
So it begins. You’ll come to know me
And I will walk a mile in your shoes,
And I will walk a mile in your shoes.
