when the words don't come out right.
Footprints in the Sand reveals
to me a past scene of my life.
Please stand by me through
the thick and thin,
though the trials of my life.
He's dealing with me now...
I turn around you're doing it again...
you're doing it again.

I'm not trying to bring you down.
I just want you to see
what is happening to me.
I'm not trying to bring you down.
Just understand that I
was blind but I'm learning to see.

I've ran long enough from
what I know is right.
The sands of yesterday are
sliding through the clutched fingers of life.
I'm not saying that the fun is gone,
or the times we had are in vain.
There's a break in the wilderness.
My narrow path is clearing again...
it's clearing once again.

I'm not trying to bring you down.
I just want you to see
what is happening to me.
I'm not trying to bring you down.
Just understand that I
was blind but I'm learning to see.

I'm not trying to bring you down.
I just want you to see
what is happening to me.
I'm not trying to bring you down.
Just understand that I
was blind but I'm learning to see
