Footprints

Oh, it's amazing, flipping these pages
 What's happened through all these years
 Down in the basement, looking through the ages
 I can see it so clear
 Things from this old house
 Really mean something now
 Like that poem that I used to hear
 Hanging round everywhere
 I used to write it off
 Just a picture on the wall
 But now that I've lived some life
 Been through some bitter times
 I can understand
 That one set of footprints in the sand
 Oh, those lonely roads that I walked
 Sleepless nights that I thought
 I was on my own
 But those footprints behind me
 They tell the story
 You carried me all along
 Things aren't what they seem
 Sometimes there's more than what we see
 Like that poem that I used to hear
 Hanging round everywhere
 I used to write it off
 Just a picture on the wall
 But now that I've lived some life
 Been through some bitter times
 I can understand
 That one set of footprints in the sand
 Ooh, yeah
 And when I stop to look back
 I can see your faithfulness
 Written in the prints that you leave
 You are more than here with me
 Oh, Lord, you carry me
 You are my strength when I'm weak
 I see what's ahead of me
 When I look back
 At that poem that I used to hear
 I saw it everywhere
 I used to write it off
 Now it's hanging on my wall
 I still have some life to live
 One thing, I'm sure of it
 You'll be with me to the end
 And I see that one of your footprints again
 You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
 You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
 You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
 You carry me, you carry me so I can rest, I can rest
