Footprints in the Sand Songtext
von Ruben Studdard

What is life, if it doesn′t have meaning?
We're just extras in a movie passing by

What is a man, if he doesn′t have purpose?
With nothing real to show for all his time

I don't want to be, like footprints in the sand
I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark
I don't want to be, something that will fade away
A distant memory, punched out by the sea
Like footprints in the sand

For as long as I′m breathing, I will use my voice to sing what′s in my heart
And with these hands, I rebuild what was broken
I will lift the ones who don't have strength to stand


I don′t want to be, like footprints in the sand
I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark
I don't want to be, something that will fade away
A distant memory, punched out by the sea
Like footprints in the sand

Don′t remember me, for the superficial things
Just remember how I showed my heart
And when you speak of me, oh I hope you tell the things
I did on this earth to do my part

'Cause I don′t want to be, like footprints in the sand
I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark
And I don't want to be, something that will fade away
A distant memory, punched out by the sea

I don't want to be, footprints in the sand
I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark
I don′t want to be, something that will fade away
A distant memory, punched out by the sea
Like footprints in the sand
