I feel frustration sometimes when the words don't come out right
Footprints in the Sand reveals to me a past scene of my life
Please stand by me through the thick and thin, though the trials of my life
He's dealing with me now
I turn around you're doing it again you're doing it again

[chorus]

I'm not trying to bring you down
I just want you to see what is happening to me
I'm not trying to bring you down
Just understand that I was blind but I'm learning to see

I've ran long enough from what I know is right
The sands of yesterday are sliding through the clutched fingers of life
I'm not saying that the fun is gone, or the times we had are in vain
There's a break in the wilderness
My narrow path is clearing again it's clearing once again
