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
If I were half the man you are
The footprints would be bigger then they are

I will walk a thousand miles
I will sail a thousand seas
Leave footprints in the ground
Forever chasing dreams

With you by my side
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

I will walk a thousand miles
I will sail a thousand seas
Leave footprints in the ground
Forever chasing dreams

With you by my side
I will live the life I choose
For the goal that keeps me going is
To walk a mile in your shoes

Bridge:
I can't get where I'm going
By staying where I am
You keep me on the move
To become a better man

So I will walk a thousand miles
I will sail a thousand seas
Leave footprints in the ground
Forever chasing dreams

With you by my side
I will live the life I choose
For the goal that keeps me going is
To walk a mile in your shoes
