Put Yourself In My Position

Put Yourself In My Position

Put Yourself In My Position

Use your mind for intuition

Until you do you'll never know

What makes me high, what makes me low

You look at me from your own place

To understand where I am, here's the case

For just one day, try being me

You'd understand all I feel and see

You think you can decide what is the right thing to do

You are not me, so you don't even have a clue

Your choices are made from where you are

To me your advise is from a distant star

To truly understand me, you've got to put yourself in my shoes

Then and only then, will you have the right to choose

It's a choice to live or to die

To be me is to understand why

It's gotten much easier when choosing to pass

Because our human lives never do last

Until you are me

Which will never be

The choices are mine to make

The outcomes are ones I'll take

Put yourself in my position, you'll know the right thing to do

Then you will understand every day, how hard it is to get through

It's not easy putting yourself in someone else's place

But only then can we ever understand where they are coming from

We always see things from where we are, not where they are

It's time to change our way of thinking

and think with a more open mind
