[Verse 1] You heard some words across the room, Saw her turn away. You caught a little of our hurt, But you didn’t see the day. The bills were stacked, the hours long, We’d both been stretched too thin. You saw a moment come apart, Not all the love within. [Chorus] Hope the view is good from the cheap seats, Where the hard calls look so clear. You can tell us where to turn, But you haven’t held the wheel down here. Come Monday, you can call the plays You’re sure we should have used. But before you judge the two of us, Walk a mile in our shoes. [Verse 2] You didn’t see her take my hand When I could barely pray. Or how I sat beside her bed, Afraid to look away. We’ve said some things we wish we hadn’t, We’ve had to make things right. But the years of holding on Won’t fit inside one fight. [Chorus] Hope the view is good from the cheap seats, Where the hard calls look so clear. You can tell us where to turn, But you haven’t held the wheel down here. Come Monday, you can call the plays You’re sure we should have used. But before you judge the two of us, Walk a mile in our shoes. [Bridge] Lord, I’ve sat up in those bleachers, Passed judgment from afar. Forgot there’s always more to folks Than what their worst days are. Help me listen when she’s hurting, Give me strength to own my wrong. Let me care more for the one I love Than proving I was right all along. [Final Chorus] There’s an empty chair beside us If you want to come down here. You don’t have to have the answers; You can lend a listening ear. We’re still learning how to love, Still got forgiving left to do. Lord, teach us all to offer grace When we haven’t walked those shoes. [Outro] You saw a moment come apart, But there’s more for us to lose. Before you judge the two of us, Walk a mile in our shoes.
