If I climb into the same boat as you
Will it sink?
If I walk a mile in your shoes
Will I get blisters?
If my heart bleeds for you,
Will I need a transplant?
If I see the world through your eyes
Will I go blind?
If I feel your pain,
How much analgesic will I need?
If I understand your point of view
Will I end up skewered on that same sharp point?
If I hear what you’re saying
Will I develop ear ache?
If my heart goes out to you,
Will I ever get it back?
If I could be you
Could the same bad things happen to me?
If I am you
Then who am I?
