Written by Matt Epp and Isaac Murdoch

lyrics

I don’t know your name
You can say the same
But you sit a few minutes with me

You ask about my day
Though it’s written on my face
Could be nothing to say
But you don’t walk away

That’s something I need
Like shoes on my feet
When you offer your hand
I know you don’t see
The line that they drew
That separates someone like you
From someone like me

Could you walk a mile
In my shoes and smile
My way up and out is hard to see

But if you pass me by
If you don’t even try
You’re lost in a dream
Can’t see the human in me

Chorus

Oh what will it take for me to go without so that somebody else can have a little
And what will it take for you to give a hand, a bed, a meal, a place, a friend

That’s something I need
Like shoes on my feet
When you offer your hand
I know you don’t see
The line that they drew
That separates someone like you

From someone like me
Out on the street
You offer your hand
I know you don’t see
The line that they drew
That separates someone like you
From someone like me

Someone like you, and someone like me
