FOLLOWING YOUR FOOTSTEPS

FOLLOWING YOUR FOOTSTEPS

AS I JOURNEY ALONG THE ROAD
I FOLLOW YOUR FOOTSTEPS
WHEN THE ROAD IS SOFT
YOUR FOOTPRINTS ARE CLEAR
I CAN SEE CLEARLY THE DIRECTION I NEED TO GO
WHEN THE ROAD IS DUSTY
YOUR FOOTPRINTS ARE STILL VISIBLE
I CAN STILL SEE THE WAY
WHEN THE ROAD IS ROUGH
YOUR FOOTPRINTS ARE HARD TO SEE
I STRUGGLE TO FIND MY WAY
SOMETIMES I RELY ON THE DIRECTION I HAVE BEEN GOING
OR I HAVE TO WORK OUT WHICH DIRECTION TO GO
WHEN THE SNOW FALLS ON THE ROAD
YOUR FOOTPRINTS BECOME CLEAR AGAIN
AND I CAN FOLLOW YOU WITH EASE
SOMETIMES WHEN DARKNESS FALLS I GET LOST ALL TOGETHER
AND HAVE TO STOP UNTIL DAYLIGHT RETURN
RETRACE MY STEPS
AND FIND YOUR FOOTPRINTS AGAIN
SOMETIMES THE ROSAD IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HIDE OR DESTROY YOUR FOOTPRINTS
AND I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE TO FIND TRACES OF WHERE THE FOOTPRINTS ARE
AND CARRY ON PAST THE PEOPLE
IT IS SOMETIMES HARD AS THEY TRY TO DISTRACT ME
BUT I KNOW I MUST FIND THE FOOTPRINTS AGAIN
SOMETIMES THE ROAD IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ALL TRYING TO FOLLOW YOUR FOOTPRINTS AND WE CAN TRAVEL TOGETHER
SOME SEEM TO TRAVEL SLOWER BUT I KNOW WE ARE TRAVELLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION
THESE PARTS OF THE JOURNEY ARE THE EASIEST OF ALL
SOMETIMES I FEEL WEARY
AND FOLLOWING THE FOOTPRINTS FEELS A CHORE
BUT I KNOW ONE DAY I WILL LOOK UP FROM THE FOOTPRINTS
AND YOU WILL BE THERE BEFORE ME
I WILL HAVE FINISHED MY JOURNEY ALONG THE ROAD
AND REACHED MY DESTINATION
