Lyrics
Footprints in the Snow
by Andrew Bayuk
VERSE
The road is hard and long.
It winds forever on.
The sea leads to the shore.
I?m finding more and more, I?m lost.
CHORUS
The sun comes up again
The river points the way
It leads me back to home
LIKE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
VERSE
The clouds conceal the sun
They overtake the sky
Darkness falls upon us
We often wonder why, we?re lost.
CHORUS
The sun goes down again
The stars they point the way
They lead me back to home
LIKE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
VERSE
The desert nights aglow
As shadows from dunes grow
The wind beckons my name
But things remain the same, I?m lost
CHORUS
The new moon comes again
The mountains point the way
They lead me back to home
LIKE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
BRIDGE
The one day I wake
And feel your warmth around
And realize you were always there
And always will be; now I?m found
CHORUS
The full moon comes again
Your love it points the way
It leads me back to home
LIKE FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
