Looking over my shoulder
At the making of a man
I see footprints in the ground
That led me where I am
Then and there it occurs to me dad
If I were half the man you are
The footprints would be bigger then they are
I will walk a thousand miles
With you by my side
I will sail all the seas
Leave footprints in the ground
Forever chasing dreams
I will live the life I choose
For the goal that keeps me going is
To walk a mile in your shoes
Through the stage of rebellion
I denied all the hurt
Walked all over people
Treated them like dirt
Now I realize
By the footprints in the ground
That the people I walked on
Laid the path that I have found
So I will walk a thousand miles
With you by my side
I will sail all the seas
Leave footprints in the ground
Forever chasing dreams
I will live the life I choose
For the goal that keeps me going is
To walk a mile in your shoes
For the goal that keeps me going is
To walk a mile in your shoes
