Lyrics Ruben Studdard

Ruben Studdard

Footprints In The Sand

What is life, if it doesn't have meaning?

We're just extras in a movie passing by

What is a man, if he doesn't have purpose?

With nothing real to show for all his time

I don't want to be, like footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark

I don't want to be, something that will fade away

A distant memory, washed out by the sea

Like footprints in the sand

For as long as I'm breathing, I will use my voice to sing what's in my heart

And with these hands, I rebuild what was broken

I will lift the ones who don't have strength to stand

I don't want to be, like footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark

I don't want to be, something that will fade away

A distant memory, washed out by the sea

Like footprints in the sand

Don't remember me, for the superficial things

Just remember how I showed my heart

And when you speak of me, oh I hope you tell the things

I did on this earth to do my part

'Cause I don't want to be, like footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark

And I don't want to be, something that will fade away

A distant memory, washed out by the sea

I don't want to be, footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark, like the stars shine in the dark

I don't want to be, something that will fade away

A distant memory, washed out by the sea

Like footprints in the sand
