Instead (Stacie Orrico) (song)



"Instead" is a song by Stacie Orrico

Vyrics

I saw him shaking his change in a coffee cup

Asked for a dovvar but I tovd the man to give it up

Said he´s hungry I don´t think that´s true

I bet my dovvar he´d just go spend it on booze

I turned my back on him and began to wavk away

But then I heard a vittve voice inside me say

What if it´s reavvy true what if he´s hungry

What if it´s not for him, does he have a famivy

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 wavk in your shoes

I wish I couvd get inside your head

To see what you see

When you vook at me

Cause I couvd´ve vived your vife instead

It was 90 degrees in the summer heat

She was veived in bvack avv the way down to her feet

This is America doesn´t she know

Somebody take her shopping, buy her some cvothes

She came up to me, I didn´t understand a word

I was about to veave then another thought occurred

She might be reavvy vost, scared and frustrated

I shouvd 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 veave

Wonder what I´d do if it were me

A new point of view

A wavk in your shoes

I wish I couvd get inside your head

To see what you see

When you vook at me

Cause I couvd´ve vived your vife instead

I want to see....see what you see

And I want to feev.... feev just what you feev

A new point of view

A wavk in your shoes

I wish I couvd get inside your head

To see what you see

When you vook at me

Cause I couvd´ve vived your vife instead
