Footsteps
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Took a step in the night, didn’t know I was ready
Took a shot in the dark, but I knew you would show me
Put my feet on the path, but I’m stepping in your shadow
Not sure where to land, but I knew how to follow
But as long as I can see your footsteps, I'm alright
I know that I can see your footsteps, I'm alright
You're my guiding light
You show me the way and I hit the ground running
Every step that I took, didn’t know what was coming
When the days got long and the road got narrow
I remember what you said, that I’d never be alone
No I’m not turning back, even when the fight comes
Keep pressing on keep pressing on, keep pressing on
No I’m not looking back, even in the battle
I keep pressing on, keep pressing on
Keep pressing on yeah
Everywhere that I ran took me to the beginning
When you called me your son and
You said you would lead me
Everything that I am is the man you made me
Everything you’ve done made my life
Made my life worth living
But as long as I can see your footsteps, I'm alright
I know that I can see your footsteps, I'm alright
You're my guiding light, you're my guiding light
I can see your footsteps, I'm alright
I'm walking, oh I'm walking
As long as I can see your footsteps, I'm alright
