Footprints in the Sand

If you know me, you know that I love lyrics. Not long ago I was listening to my iTunes and discovered a new favorite song. Most of the time I'm very music moody. I listen to music all day, and sometimes it sounds...well, not so good. When I come home, I usually do very little listening and if I do listen, it's usually pop music. I have A LOT of music on my iTunes/iPod. A LOT of music. So much that I don't even know what's on there, but I had it on shuffle and this song came on.

I don't know about you, but I can hear a song I've heard 700 times before, and pending on what mood I'm in, what my frame of mind is, who I'm with, etc. a song can suddenly take on a new meaning. Anyway, this was one of those songs. Currently, it means a lot to me. It gives me hope.

Footprints in the Sand

Recorded by: Leona Lewis

Written by: Richard Page, David Kreuger, Per Magnusson, & Simon Cowell

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 you're 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've 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 you're heart is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

And when I'm weary

I know you'll be here

And I can feel you

When you say

I promise you

I'm always there

When you're heart is filled with sadness and despair

I'll carry you when you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand
