Some folk leave you courage Some folk leave you hope Why am I out here hangin' Like a fool on the end of my rope? Some folk leave you wisdom Some folk throw you signs You can never be sure what went on before Life is just a matter of time Pictures of you, clouding my view I'm following in your footsteps Tryin' to make some sense of it all Maybe it's a sign of weakness But that's where my footsteps fall I'm following in your footsteps Tryin' to hold on to your dreams You never got what you wanted So I never got what I need I'm following in your footsteps 'cause that's where your footsteps lead Someone must have left me anger
Someone must have given me hate Or why would I stand here shakin' When there's so many chances to take? Pictures of you, climb into view I'm following in your footsteps Tryin' to make some sense of it all Well, maybe it's a sign of weakness But that's where my footsteps fall I'm following in your footsteps Watchin' my children grow They'll be following in my footsteps Takin' it down the road We're following in your footsteps 'cause that's where your footsteps go We're following in your footsteps Takin' it down the road We're following in your footsteps, yeah 'cause that's where your footsteps go
