Footprints in the Sand

Anytime you doubt my views

Just walk a mile in my shoes

Yes I know you’ve got the blues

All you gotta do is read the news,

Sometimes I think I’m gonna win

Just to find myself losing again

Thought you would be my friend

But I was betrayed in the end,

A man and woman share a life

A sanctuary from all the strife

Then the lies cut like a knife

She ends up your estranged wife,

When so many lives on you depend

I’ve only blessings to send

Takes a heart so long to mend

What lies ahead on the next bend?

Whatever happened to those plans?

Seems love slipped through your hands

She’s no longer there at your command

A lonely set of footprints in the sand,

Beating yourself up for the past

Forgetting nothing’s made to last

Seems the horizon’s fading fast

The party was supposed to be a blast,

Reflecting on the way things turned out

You used to feel so strong and stout

It seems honesty has no clout

Lord, what is this life all about?
