Footprints

One set of footprints inna di sand

And yuh a gamble and a screw it

A seh it shoulda be two remember one thing mi youth

A Father God have the plan

So when you see one set of footprints a God carry you

Hurry up and come back

Was the last thing she said to her son

The day his life was taken

She didn't know he wouldn't come back

He died from the bullet of a gun

And now her little boy is gone

She said, help me

Lord help me

Then she looked up to the sky

And she heard a voice reply

When you cry, I cry

I cry along with you

When you smile, I smile

I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry

I cry along with you

When you smile, I smile

I smile along with you

Another baby left homeless

Abandoned when he was two

So the street side kids at the shopping was the family he knew

It's not being easy being homeless

Sometimes you haffi do what you have to do

And he didn't have a mum or dad

To help him get through

He said, help me

Father help me

And he looked up to the sky

And he heard a voice reply

When you cry, I cry

I cry along with you

When you smile, I smile

I smile along with you

When you cry, I cry

I cry along with you

When you smile, I smile

I smile along with you
