Footprints Songtext
von Exploring Birdsong

It′s in the people we know
Those we've yet to meet
And the ones we′ve left behind

A life begins
Remembering the stairs
A memory someone shares
The family home
It's all been rearranged
Something here has changed

Ooh, the others with their looks of pity
Ooh, know more than you

Oh-ooh, carrying the burden of grief yet shying away
I never saw the forest for the flame
Oh-ooh, echoing a memory with nothing new they can say
She calls my name


A photograph
A smile that I don't know
Although I share it so
A box upstairs
The things she left behind
An answer I won′t find

Oh-ooh, a sympathy that cuts you like a knife
An unknown life

Oh-ooh, carrying the burden of grief yet shying away
I never saw the forest for the flame
Oh-ooh, echoing a memory with nothing new they can say
She calls my name

The branches of a tree that′s evergreen
The secrets in the roots remain unseen
Following the footprints 'round the bend
Then all the footprints end

Oh-ooh, carrying the burden of grief yet shying away
I never saw the forest for the flame
Oh-ooh, echoing a memory with nothing new they can say
She calls my name
