Footprints

Intro Verse Oh, it's amazing, flipping these pages What's happened through all these years Down in the basement, looking through the ages I can see it so clear Things from this old house Really mean something now Like that poem that I used to hear Hanging round everywhere I used to write it off Just a picture on the wall But now that I've lived some life Been through some bitter times I can understand That one set of footprints in the sand Verse Oh, those lonely roads that I walked Sleepless nights that I thought I was on my own But those footprints behind me They tell the story You carried me all along Things aren't what they seem Sometimes there's more than what we see Like that poem that I used to hear Hanging round everywhere I used to write it off Just a picture on the wall But now that I've lived some life Been through some bitter times I can understand That one set of footprints in the sand Ooh, yeah Bridge And when I stop to look back I can see your faithfulness Written in the prints that you leave You are more than here with me Oh, Lord, you carry me You are my strength when I'm weak I see what's ahead of me When I look back At that poem that I used to hear I saw it everywhere I used to write it off Now it's hanging on my wall I still have some life to live One thing, I'm sure of it You'll be with me to the end And I see that one set of your footprints again Outro You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
