You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going

You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way
Then I heard you say:

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I 
Been so afraid

And just when I
I thought I'd lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say:

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

When I'm weary
Well, I know you'll be there
And I can feel you
When you say:

I promise you
Oh, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair (and despair)
I'll carry you (you)
When you need a friend (need a friend)
You'll find my footprints in the sand (I promise you, I'm always there)
When your heart is full of sadness and despair (and despair)
I'll carry you (I'll carry you)
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
