[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
"I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand"

[Verse 2]
I see my life flash across the sky
So many times have I been so afraid, mm
And just when I, I thought I'd lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
That's when I heard you say

[Chorus]
"I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
And I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand"
[Bridge]
When I'm weary
Well, I know you'll be there
And I can feel you when you say

[Chorus]
"I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair (And despair)
I'll carry you when you need a friend (Need a friend)
You'll find my footprints in the sand
(I promise you, I'm always there), oh
When your heart is full of sadness and despair (And despair)
I'll carry you (I'll carry you) when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand"
Oh, mm
