Lyrics
Verse 1
Remember asking
Where were you?
I was walking through it, didn't understand
Looking down, I only saw one set of footprints in the sand
Thought you left me
Thought I was alone
Didn't know you was carrying me the whole time
Verse 2
I was tired, I was worn
Trying to hold it together, barely holding on
Didn't see what you were doing then
But I see it clear now, looking back again
I wasn't alone
I just couldn't see
Chorus
Those footprints in the sand
They were yours, not mine
Every time I thought I wouldn't make it
You were holding me up the whole time
I was questioning everything
Didn't understand the plan
But now I see
You never left me in that sand
Verse 3
Now I walk different, I don't doubt like before
Even when it get heavy, I know what it's for
'Cause I remember nights I couldn't stand
And you carried me right through it again
I don't question like I used to do
I got the proof now, I done seen you move
Even when I couldn't feel your hand
You was right there in the sand
Bridge
I trust it now
I understand
Those footprints in the sand
They were yours, not mine
Every time I thought I wouldn't make it
You were holding me up the whole time
I was questioning everything
Didn't understand the plan
But now I see
You never left me in that sand
Outro
And I thought I was walking alone
But I wasn't
Oh, footprints in the sand
They were yours, not mine
Every time I thought I wouldn't make it
You were holding me up the whole time
I was questioning everything
Didn't understand the plan
But now I see
You never left me in that sand
And you never left
I just didn't see it
