Some folk leave courage,
  some folk leave you hope
  Why am I out here hangin'
  like a fool at the end o' my rope
  Some folk leave you wisdom,
  some folk leave you signs
  You can never be sure
  what went on before
  Life is just a matter of time
  
  Picture of you,
  clouding my view
  I'm following in your footsteps,
  tryin' to make some sense of it all
  Maybe it's a sign of weakness,
  but that's where my footsteps fall
  I'm following in your footsteps,
  tryin' to hang on to your dreams
  You never got what you wanted
  So I never got what I need
  I'm following in your footsteps,
  'cos that's where the footsteps lead
  
  Someone must have given me anger,
  someone must have given me hate
  Or why would I stand here shakin',
  when there's so many chances to take
  
  Pictures of you,
  climb into view
  I'm following in your footsteps,
  tryin' to make some sense of it all
  Maybe it's a sign of weakness,
  but that's where my footsteps fall
  
  I'm following in your footsteps,
  watchin' my children grow
  They're following in my footsteps
  Takin' it on the road
  We're following in your footsteps
  'cos that's where the footsteps go
  We're following in your footsteps, yeah
  'cos that's where your footsteps go
