Glass Wolves - Footprints in the Sand Lyrics

When I was young, I thought life moved slow,
Dreams felt close, no fears to show.
But the years swept by like waves on shore,
I held tight, but they asked for more.

I made mistakes, I learned to mend,
Lost myself, but found a friend.
In every shadow, my heart would stand,
Leaving footprints in the sand.

Now I'm older - looking back through time,
Memories fading, drawn in fragile lines.
Every choice, each fall, every stand,
We're all just leaving footprints in the sand.
Footprints in the sand... footprints in the sand...

At twenty-one, I felt so wise,
Chased my hopes, touched empty skies.
Some friends stayed, some drifted far,
I learned that life marks who we are.

In every scar, there's a story to tell,
From roads I took to where I fell.
Through loss and love, I learned to stand,
Leaving footprints in the sand.

Now I'm older - looking back through time,
Twists and turns unfolding, tangled lines.
Each joy, each fall, each open hand,
We're all just leaving footprints in the sand.
Footprints in the sand... footprints in the sand...

And as I stand on the edge of today,
I see the faces, the roads, the days.
Those quiet nights, those laughter sounds,
The love I lost, the love I found.
Through every step, I start to see,
These footprints are the heart of me.

Now I'm older - looking back through time,
Moments lost and dreams that climbed.
Every joy, each fall, each open hand,
We're all just leaving footprints in the sand.
Footprints in the sand... footprints in the sand...

So here I am, with miles behind,
Thankful for each hill I climbed.
For every step, each rise, each stand,
Has left my footprints in the sand.
