Footprints In The Sand

Footprints in the sand, 

If I could give you, 

Every dream of tomorrow, 

Would you reach out, 

And take my hand, 


Would you let me lead you, 

Through the fantasies, 

Wherever the wind goes, 

Let me come to reveal, 

All those dreams now true, 


Or would you run in fright, 

Through the tears, 

In the grey of your eyes, 

Believing only in the black, 

And the white, 


Faith in only what you hold, 

What you have lost, 

Blinded to what is missing, 

By the passage of time, 

Hoping to only grow old, 


Could you want for more, 

Look beyond here, 

Passed the moment now, 

Hear fate come knocking, 

Destiny another door, 


Wish upon a burning star, 

Visions in the flames, 

Dancing in your lust, 

Could you let it go, 

Ever wander so far, 


Wonder as it fade, 

Like your smile, 

Alone in the mirror, 

Another lifetime gone, 

Those promises made, 


Could I make you smile. 

Scare away your shadows, 

So that you may bloom, 

And shine so bright, 

As we walk that mile, 


Dare to take the chance, 

That you may find, 

More than you could take, 

Beneath the moon, 

While you embrace the dance, 


Troubled by what you may find, 

The price to be paid, 

In full in good time, 

Or do hold your nerve, 

Follow the road it wind, 


Scared by what may be missed, 

Left to the memories, 

Of all that you risked, 

For one more chance to roll, 

Those dice destiny kissed.
