  • 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, have thought I lost my way,
    You gave me strength to carry on,
    It's then 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 with you,
    Well I know you've been there,
    And I can feel you when you say

    I promise you (you)
    I'm always there
    When your heart is filled (when your heart)
    With sadness and despair (and despair)
    I'll carry you when you need a friend (need a friend)
    You'll find my footprints in the sand. (I promise you)

    Oh. (I'm always there)

    When your heart is full of
    Sadness and despair, (and despair)
    I'll carry you when you need a friend. (I'll carry you)
    You'll find my footprints in the sand.
