Ruben Studdard - Footprints In The Sand lyrics

What is life, if it doesn't have meaning? We're just extras in a movie pa**ing 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, punched 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, punched 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, punched 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, punched out by the sea Like footprints in the sand
