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
