You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going

You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way

I heard you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow
And despair

[Chorus]
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid
And just when I
Thought I lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
Thats when I heard you say

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

[Chorus]

When I'm weary
Well I know you'll be there
And I can feel you
When you say

I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sadness and despair

[Chorus]

[Choir]

When your heart is full of sadness and despair

[Chorus]

    General Comment:I see this song in different ways. One, it can be taken from the poem, "Footsteps", which is about God carrying you during your roughest times. But I'm also reminded of my dad when I listen to it. He died two years ago, and I know that somehow he is still watching over me.

    Song Meaning:Well... like many, many songs - it could be interpreted in many different ways. God, a friend, long-time partner, this song speaks to many people, all at the same time.
    Personally, I don't believe in god, I believe there is something greater then us, but I don't believe it's god.
    Whether or not Simon based this song on the poem, is his choice, but the lyrics reach out to many who need/want/ already have had the help to go through the hard times.
    "I'll carry you, when you need a friend" - The song, would make for an incredible wedding song.

    General Comment:That's poem I thought of, mcclizzle, when I read these lyrics.

    Definitely about God and how He is always there for you. Me personally, I'm clinging to this song.
