Footprints in the Sand
Journey of Resilience: Footprints in Life's Sands
Lyrics
When I was born, I was no believer
At the time of my birth, I didn’t have faith in something greater
Never been hurt, wouldn't know a lie
I haven't experienced much pain or deceit
When I was young, Mamma gave me two things
During my youth, my mother gave me two valuable qualities
A warm heart and an open mind
She instilled in me a compassionate nature and a receptive mind
When I got older, nights got longer
As I grew older, nights became more challenging
I got strong and I help my ground
I became resilient and stood my ground
Woke on the wrong side of every sunrise
I often woke up feeling negative about each new day
I found the dark side of every town
I discovered the darker aspects of every place I went
I still hear her voice in times of trouble
I still recall my mother's guidance during difficult times
When there was only one pair of footprints in the sand
Reflecting on challenging times where I felt alone
So when you find yourself climbing out of the rubble
Encouragement for oneself when emerging from difficult situations
Remember there was only you to hold your hand
Remembrance that one had to rely on oneself during hardships
And I work hard just to raise my family
I put in significant effort to support my family
I got a mortgage and bills to pay
Handling financial responsibilities such as a mortgage and bills
Life is as tough as it every could be
Life has been as challenging as it possibly could be
I wouldn't have it any other way
Despite the hardships, I wouldn’t choose a different path
I still hear her voice in times of trouble
I still remember my mother's guidance during tough times
When there was only one pair of footprints in the sand
Reflection on facing adversity alone
So when you find yourself climbing out of the rubble
Encouragement to remember self-reliance during tough times
Remember there was only you to hold your hand
A reminder that one had to depend on oneself in difficulties

Instrumental break (guitar)
Now as I sit here looking backwards
Presently looking back on my life
No regrets for the things I've done
No remorse for the choices I've made
Well, I got love and I still got anger
I possess both love and lingering anger
And I'm ok with the man I've become
I am accepting of the person I've grown into
CHORUS (repeat to hold your hand' x4)
Chorus repeated emphasizing self-reliance during hardships
