Footprints

A musical version of the well-known poem by the same name, this song has a catchy tune and an uplifting reminder that we never have to walk alone.

Lyrics:

I’ve fallen through the floor again, crashed into the basement
Your pain was swallowing me
I was like a lead balloon when I couldn’t even get up to
Turn the lights on, the dark was swallowing me

Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re standing on the edge
I’m breaking down
Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re hanging by a thread
I was breaking down

And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you’d abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Oh what if I had got the things I knew it was I
Who’d abandoned with you
Forgive me, I was lost and found
You had never left my side
Picked me up when I thought I would die
You helped me and I was fine

Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re standing on the edge
I’m breaking down
Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re hanging by a thread
And I’m breaking down

Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you’d abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you’d abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
