CAN YOU PUT YOURSELF IN SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES?
Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It" (Traditional)
Lyrics: Linda K. Williams, copyright 2014
1
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need?
When we show that we care, their burdens we can share.
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
2
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need?
Compassion and empathy will sow the seeds of peace.
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
3
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need?
It's a wonderful feeling to know somebody cares!
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
YOU'RE INVITED TO WRITE MORE VERSES FOR THE 3RD LINE!
Can you put yourself in someone else's shoes?
Can you think of how they're feeling -- what they need?

THINK AND SHARE INVITATIONS
* Think and share about a time when you “put yourself in someone else’s shoes.” How did doing that help in the situation? How did you feel, and what did you say or do to let them know you had empathy for them?
* Sometimes people say, “I hear you!” or “I get you!” or “I feel you!” In what ways are those the same as – or different from – “putting yourself in someone else’s shoes”?
* Think and share about a time when you offered to help someone with a problem they were having – a burden they were carrying – and how you and they felt about your making that offer.
