'Cause he was only followin' Daddy I don't like to think about the way in There was only one pair of shoes by the front door Thought I was alright on my own Thanks to you those days are gone You stopped me in my tracks Now I can see the future every time that I look back At the Little footprints followin' me Little footprints brand new Little hands that hold my heart are only there because of you Little prints followin' me So walk more carefully?

'Cause what I do, and where I go Is gonna wind up there too I know Oh, you and God must'a made a plan To teach me how to care To save my life, to make me better And to prove to me His love is there It's in the Little footprints followin' me Little footprints brand new Little hands that hold my heart are only there because of you Little prints followin' me So walk more carefully? 'Cause how I act, and what I say And what I do, and where I go Is gonna wind up there too I know
