Footprints
I walk along a sandy beach
A beach you used to walk with me
We'd leave two sets of footprints as we'd go
As the waves crashed on our feet
The world was gone, just you and me
It was the only life I wanted to know
Then my world came crashing down
I was lost and never found
Black clouds brought on blacker tide
And washed away the hope inside
You carried me for so long
But I couldn't carry you
When you needed me the most
I couldn't pull you through
Now as I stand and look back down
These miles of beach
The only set of footprints that i see
Belongs to me
Each day I beg to have your strength
Even an ounce to fight the pain
The agony and hateful thoughts won't stop
Images burned in my mind
But none of them of happy times
It's enough to make me not believe in god
You carried me for so long
But I couldn't carry you
When you needed me the most
I couldn't pull you through
Now as I stand and look back down
These miles of beach
The only set of footprints that i see
Belongs to me
Road trips and ocean views
Became hospital halls, machines and tubes
A life of endless warmth
Lost to an unseen tempest's force
Then my world came crashing
I got lost and was never found
Black clouds brought on blacker tide
And washed away the hope inside
You carried me for so long
But I couldn't carry you
When you needed me the most
I couldn't pull you through
Now as I stand and look back down
These miles of beach
The only set of footprints that i see
Belongs to me
A beach you used to walk with me
We'd leave two sets of footprints as we'd go
As the waves crashed on our feet
The world was gone, just you and me
It was the only life I wanted to know
Then my world came crashing down
I was lost and never found
Black clouds brought on blacker tide
And washed away the hope inside
You carried me for so long
But I couldn't carry you
When you needed me the most
I couldn't pull you through
Now as I stand and look back down
These miles of beach
The only set of footprints that i see
Belongs to me
Each day I beg to have your strength
Even an ounce to fight the pain
The agony and hateful thoughts won't stop
Images burned in my mind
But none of them of happy times
It's enough to make me not believe in god
You carried me for so long
But I couldn't carry you
When you needed me the most
I couldn't pull you through
Now as I stand and look back down
These miles of beach
The only set of footprints that i see
Belongs to me
Road trips and ocean views
Became hospital halls, machines and tubes
A life of endless warmth
Lost to an unseen tempest's force
Then my world came crashing
I got lost and was never found
Black clouds brought on blacker tide
And washed away the hope inside
You carried me for so long
But I couldn't carry you
When you needed me the most
I couldn't pull you through
Now as I stand and look back down
These miles of beach
The only set of footprints that i see
Belongs to me
