Footprints And Shadows
Listen to things you never can hear
Your footprints behind you,
Your shadow so near
Listen to things you never can hear
Your love for another
Your caring so sheer
Listen to things you never can hear
Your internal thinking
Your joy and the fear
Listen to things you never can hear
Your dreams for tomorrow
Your heartbreak and tear
Listen to things you never can hear
Your passion for justice
Your values held dear
