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 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 I'll carry you when you need a friend You'll find my footprints in the sand When I'm weary, I know you'll be again And I can feel you when 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 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 When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair I'll carry you when you need a friend
