In this emotionally charged ballad, the artist explores themes of despair, faith, and redemption. The lyrics depict a person who's going through a period of intense struggle and feels as if they've been abandoned. However, the recurring image of 'two footprints in the sand' suggests that they were never truly alone during their trials. This imagery is a reference to a popular religious story where God assures an individual that during their toughest times when they saw only one set of footprints in the sand, it was then that God was carrying them. In this context, it symbolizes divine or human support and love that’s always present even when we feel most isolated or overwhelmed by our problems.
Footprints
Lyrics
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've fallen through the floor again, crashed into the basement
Your pain was swallowing me
I was like a lead balloon when I couldn't even get up to
Turn the lights on, the dark was swallowing me
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
I'm breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Oh what if I had got the things I knew it was I
Who'd abandoned with you
Forgive me, I was lost and found
You had never left my side
Picked me up when I thought I would die
You helped me and I was fine
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
I'm breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
And I'm breaking down
Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
