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   'Cos 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   'Cos that's where your footsteps go      We're following in your footsteps   Takin' it down the road   We're following in your footsteps, yeah   'Cos that's where your footsteps go
