[Verse 1]
They told me kneel and pray
Then wait for hands to come
But I learned to face the storm
With my own two feet and blood
I watched the tide roll in
I watched it pull me low
Still I found a way back up
That’s a truth I know
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you trace my path
You’ll see I didn’t freeze
I stood in every hard place
And I stood up on my knees
[Chorus]
Footprints in the sand
They are mine
Footprints in the sand
I saved my life
Footprints in the sand
Yeah, they’re mine
I was carried by my will
I survived
[Verse 2]
I learned my name out loud
In rooms that shut me out
I put my own soul on my back
And walked it through the doubt
No miracle came down
No thunder split the night
Just a woman with a stubborn heart
And fire in her eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
So when you say surrender
I hear a different song
I held my own out in the dark
And that is what made me strong
[Chorus]
Footprints in the sand
They are mine
Footprints in the sand
I saved my life
Footprints in the sand
Yeah, they’re mine
I was carried by my will
I survived
[Bridge]
Maybe faith looks like
Taking one more step
Maybe grace is in the grit
In the breath I kept
I won’t hand my road away
I won’t make it small
If I made it here at all
I made it through it all
[Final Chorus]
Footprints in the sand
They are mine
Footprints in the sand
I saved my life
Footprints in the sand
Yeah, they’re mine
I was carried by my will
I survived
Footprints in the sand
Say my name
Footprints in the sand
I earned this flame
Footprints in the sand
Still they shine
I walked through the storm alone
And made it mine
