FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

 

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

WHILE DAYS OF SUMMER STILL REMAIN

 

STEALING ALL THE SUN WE CAN FIND

 

LAT DOWN IN STILL WATER 

 

LOOKING TO THE SKY

 

SQUEEZING IT TO GET THE MOST

 

WHO WOULDN'T WANT

 

 TO TAKE IT ALL 

 

 

THEN IN THE DARK OF NIGHT

 

THE STARS MAKE SUCH A SHOW

 

THE MOONLIGHT ON

 

 THE BREAKING WAVES 

 

OUR FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND 

 

LEADING TO A FIRE ON THE BEACH

 

SEE THE FLAMES

 

HOW HIGH THEY REACH 

 

PEACE WITHIN PEACE BESIDE

 

TWO MINDS WANDERING THROUGH

 

A FIELD OF STARS

 

TWO HEARTS FILLED WITH LOVE

 

TWO HEADS FILLED WITH HOPES

 

ASPIRATIONS DREAMS

 

 

STILL NOT QUITE THERE

 

SITTING BACKWARDS IN A CHAIR

 

HEAD DOWN LOOKING

 

 WITHOUT SEEING A THING

MILES AWAY

IT'S ONLY YOUR TOUCH

THAT BRINGS ME BACK

BUT IT'S YOUR KISS

YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES

TO SEE MY SOUL

ITS WHAT KEEPS ME ALIVE

KEEP ON COMING

LIKE THE WAVES

 

 THAT WASH THE SHORE

I KNOW WHAT I'M THANKFUL FOR

HERE ON A LINE

WE'RE TAKING OUR TIME

FEEDING OUR BODIES

OUR SOULS OUR MINDS

STEALING ALL THE SUN WE CAN FIND

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAME OLD VIEW

 

SAME OLD VIEW

HUNGRY AND LEAN

 

THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES

 

A THOUSAND DIFFERENT

 

STORIES COULD HIDE

 

HE SEEMS TO KNOW

 

THERE'S MILES TO GO

 

WITH NOTHING IN BETWEEN 

 

STANDING ON THE ONLY CORNER

 

IN THIS FORGOTTEN TOWN 

 

NO SIGNS OF LIFE

 

NO ONE AROUND 

 

THERE AIN'T NO SILVER

 

AND THERE AIN'T NO GOLD

 

NO WELCOME HE COULD OWN

 

 

IT'S TIME TO GO

 

SO FAR FROM HOME

 

HE LOOKS IN THE MIRROR

 

THE SUNSET BEHIND HIM

 

CHASES HIM 

 

LIKE A GLOWING FIRE STORM

 

THREATENING TO OVERTAKE 

 

SAVED BY THE STARS

 

OF THE COMING NIGHT

 

 

A HUNDRED MILES OF THREE

 

HAVEN'T SEEN A SOUL

 

BUT HE STILL GOES

 

DRIVES ON BENEATH THE STARS

 

SWALLOWED BY A COUNTRY NIGHT

 

FOLLOWED BY THE MOON

 

DRIVING DEMONS SAILING ALONE

 

CAREFUL NOT TO DROWN

 

ALL THE THINGS THAT

 

HE BELIEVES ARE UP FOR QUESTION

 

JUST BEFORE A TIME

 

WHEN LOVE WAS ALL AROUND HIM 

 

LIFE WAS SO EMPTY

 

THRILLS SO FEW

 

WALKING AROUND IT

 

NO MATTER HOW HE SEES IT

 

IT'S THE SAME OLD VIEW

 

YOU CAN LOOK AND LOOK

 

BUT YOU STILL CAN'T SEE

 

ALL THE WAY THROUGH

 

IT'S THE SAME OLD VIEW

 

IT NEVER SEEMS TO CHANGE

 

SO FAR FROM HOME

 

IT'S TIME TO GO 

TURNING

 

TURNING

EVERYTHING TURNING YOU STEP BACK

 

FOR A BETTER VIEW

 

YOU STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND

 

YOUR TURNING TOO

 

AND EACH TIME THAT YOU STOP

 

THE RHYTHM THAT YOU GAIN

 

PUTS YOU BACK ON TRACK TOWARDS ME

 

 

YOU STOLE MY HEART

 

SO HERE I WAIT FOR YOU TO SHOW ME

 

WHAT ITS LIKE TO TAKE

 

TO ALWAYS BE THE ONLY ONE

 

THAT KNOWS ME

 

CAN SHOW ME YOU CARE

 

GET LOST IN A ROOM TOGETHER

 

HOLD ME HIGHER TO A PLACE

 

A REASON YOU HAVE FOUND

 

TO ELEVATE YOUR LOVE AS IT TURNS

 

TAKE IT OUT ON ME

 

 STARS WILL FALL 

 

 TO BE NEAR YOU

 

 

 

WE BOTH KNOW YOU WANT TO

 

SO DON'T HOLD BACK

 

JUST TAKE IT SLOW

 

BUT BRING IT

 

 ALL THE WAY 

WHEN EVERYTHING IS TURNING

JUST TO STOP AT ME

SO I CAN SEE YOUR LOVE

 

ALL THAT MUCH YOU CARE

WAKE UP AND FIND YOU THERE

A RAINBOW SUNRISE

COLOURING MY WORLD 

TURNING INTO YOU

I CAN'T STEER ANY OTHER WAY

WHEN EVERYTHING IS TURNING

JUST TRY TO STOP ON ME

I SAW THE HEAVENS

 

THE EARTH BELOW 

 

I SAW THE SUN

 

THE RAIN AND THE SNOW

 

I OPENED UP MY HEART

 

JUST LET IT GO

 

AND SURE ENOUGH

 

IT CAME TO YOU

 

FROM BEHIND A CLOUD I WATCHED

 

IN BLUEBERRY SKIES

 

AND WHEN I LOOKED

 

INTO YOUR EYES

 

I FOUND I COULDN'T STOP

 

 

BEEN WITH YOU

 

SINCE TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCE

 

SMILED ON YOU AND I

 

WE FOLLOW THE RUSHING WATERS

 

OF SPRING

 

THAT BRING THE MEADOWS LIFE 

 

GENTLY INTO SUMMER

 

WE ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE IT A DREAM

 

TURN IT TOWARDS SOMETHING

 

WE'VE NEVER SEEN

 

AS HARD AS ITS BEEN

 

I STILL LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU

 

 

WHAT YOU DO I ALWAYS SEE 

 

WHAT YOU SEE IS A WAY CLEAR 

 

LIKE A STARRY NIGHT

 

THE BRIGHT MOON TO GUIDE US

 

GOOD FORTUNE RIGHT BESIDE US

 

EVERYTHING WE PUT IN

 

POISON OR MEDICINE

 

BRINGS A CHANGE

 

SOMETIMES I ONLY

 

CHANGE BY DEGREE

 

BUT BY GOD I CHANGE

 

LOOK AT ME

 

 

HOW SOON WILL IT BE

 

UNTIL WE CAN SIT

 

BENEATH A TREE

 

AND WATCH THE WAVES

 

BREAK ON THE SAND

 

NOT PRESSED FOR TIME 

I HOLD YOUR HAND

UNTIL THE SUN GOES SINKING

THE COLOURED LIGHT IS SHRINKING

CEDING TO THE TWILIGHT

HOLDING YOU UNTIL

ITS TIME TO SAY GOOD NIGHT

 

 

THE SKIES WILL BLEED

 

THE SKIES WILL BLEED

SO NOW THEY'RE TRYING

 

TO CHANGE THE GAME

 

SEE NOTHING REMAINS THE SAME

 

TRADE TRUTHS FOR LIES

 

BEND FREE WILL UNTIL IT BREAKS

 

SEE THROUGH A THIN VEIL

 

THE EVIL INTENTIONS

 

AND BY THE WAY

 

WE FORGOT TO MENTION

 

YOU'LL BE CHARGED FOR AIR

 

YOU'LL LIKE IT 

 

YOU WON'T CARE

 

BECAUSE WE SAID

 

 

SEPARATE THE WEAK 

 

TO OUT THE STRONG

 

WOKEN WARRIORS WATCHING

 

THEIR EVERY MOVE

 

THEY SAY IT WON'T BE LONG

 

NOBODIES GONNA TIE THEIR HANDS

 

TAKE THE FREEDOMS

 

HARD FOUGHT AND WON 

I WANT TO SEE 

 

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

COME TOGETHER RISE

TO HEAR THEIR GASPS AND CRIES

ONLY TRIED AND TRUE RESISTANCE 

CAN SAVE THE DAY

COME OUT OF YOUR HOLLOW

SAVE YOURSELF AN EARLY GRAVE

 

AND AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE

EVIL TURNED AWAY

THE SKIES WILL BLEED

RAYS OF THE SUN

SHINE ON EVERYONE

THE EMPTY SPACES

FILLED WITH LIGHT

THE DARK REPLACED BY WHITE

THE STARRY SKIES

 

THE WEARY MOON

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING

EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE

REMEMBER ME WHEN I GO AWAY

WHEN PEACE AND FREEDOM

JUST WON'T STAY

 

 

BREAK THE ICE

 

 BREAK THE ICE

IN THE HEAT OF A SUMMER NIGHT

 

PASSING BY ALL THE STARS 

 

GROOVING TO THE MUSIC

 

THE MOOD CHARGED BUT LIGHT

 

GETTING CLOSER TO YOU

 

BABY HOLD ON TIGHT

 

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE

 

TO COME

 

THE NIGHTS STILL QUITE YOUNG 

 

 

BREAK THE ICE

 

YOUR KISS IS NICE

 

ONCE I START I DON'T KNOW

 

WHEN TO STOP

 

I FEEL YOUR HEART TOUCHING MINE

 

WE CAN GO HIGH

 

WE CAN GO LOW

 

WE CAN GO FASTER

 

OR TAKE IT REAL SLOW

 

WE CAN DRIFT WITH THE STARS

 

SEE WHAT IT IS THAT WE CAN FIND

 

 

TWO OF A KIND

 

IN A MOMENT OF TIME

 

KINDRED SPIRITS 

 

TWO HEARTS ENTWINED

 

GENTLE IS THE NIGHT

 

TAKE ME TO ALL OF YOU

 

THE PLACE YOUR HEART DWELLS

 

AND MAYBE I CAN STAY THERE

 

BALANCED WAY UP HIGH

 

AND YOU WOULDN'T KEEP ME WAITING

 

TURN ME AWAY

 

 

YOU MAY COME

 

YOU MAY GO

 

ONE THING FOR SURE THAT I KNOW

 

YOUR IN MY HEART

 

WE GO TOIGETHER

 

LIKE THE MOON AND STARS

 

MAKE EACH OTHER SHINE

 

ITS ALL WE KNOW

 

SOMETHING WE  BOTH SHOW

 

 

WHEN THE SKY TURNS 

DARK AND GRAY 

WE LEAN INTO EACH OTHERS LIGHT

PASSING BY ALL THE STARS

TAKE ME TO ALL OF YOU

THE PLACE YOUR HEART DWELLS

BREAK THE ICE

I CAN SEE THAT THIS GOES ON

 

WITHOUT END

 

SEE MY HEART IS FULL

 

OF ALL THE LOVE YOU SEND

 

TO ME

 

I SEE THE SUNRISE

 

BREAK THE DAY

 

FROM START TO END

 

THE COLOURS MULTIPLY

 

THEY BLEND

 

MIXED WITH EMOTIONS

 

A RAINBOW SUN

 

LOOKING UP THROUGH THE TREES

 

A KALEIDOSCOPE IS ALL I SEE

 

AND SO IT IS

 

I CAN'T LEAVE

 

 

I'VE ONLY TO BELIEVE

 

THIS WHOLE THING

 

MOVES FORWARD IN A WAY

 

THAT TAKES ME

 

MAKES ME TURN THE PAGE

 

LAUGHING IN THE SUMMER SUN

 

DOWN AT THE LAKE

 

EVERY STEP I TAKE

 

MAKES ME SMILE

 

I REMEMBER IT WASN'T

 

SO MANY MILES I HAD TO GO 

 

AND IF I KNEW YOU WELL

 

ALL YOUR WISHES

 

I COULD TELL

 

YOU YES FOR EVERY ONE

 

 

I F YOU COULD ONLY SEE 

 

DREAMS WERE WISHES

 

FROM ME TO YOU

 

I'VE FELT THE EMPTINESS

 

 OF A BLACK SKY 

 

THE LONGING BUILDING UP INSIDE

 

 FOR A LOVE THAT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE

 

 

THE LOVE YOU GATHERED

 

 MADE YOU CRY 

 

WHY CAN'T IT BE YOU AND I

 

YOU SEE THE WORLD

 

 IS CRUEL ITS KIND 

 

IT'S YOURS AND MINE

 

LAUGHING IN THE SUN

 

DANCING IN THE RAIN

 

AWED BY THE STARS
