Footprints in the Sand

When we began
This journey by the water
You held me in your arms.
As I grew
I began to walk beside you
And make footprints in the sand.
Take my hand
And we’ll walk by the water
I know you’ll never leave my side.
Take my hand
As we walk by the water
And make those footprints in the sand.
The years passed by
And we’re here, where we are
I look back
And see those times
Where you carried me through the sand.
Take my hand
And we’ll walk by the water
I know you’ll never leave my side.
Take my hand
As we walk by the water
And make those footprints in the sand.
Our journey won’t have to end right here
Oh there’s still more
Places to go.
I want you
To come along with me
And make more footprints in the sand.
