Following In Your Footsteps

Some folk leave courage
some folk leave you hope 
Why am I out here hangin'
like a fool at the end o' my rope 
Some folk leave you wisdom
some folk leave you signs 
You can never be sure 
what went on before 
Life is just a matter of time 

Picture of you 
clouding my view 
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to make some sense of it all 
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
but that's where my footsteps fall 
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to hang on to your dreams 
You never got what you wanted 
So I never got what I need 
I'm following in your footsteps 
'cos that's where the footsteps lead 

Someone must have given me anger
someone must have given me hate 
Or why would I stand here shakin'
when there's so many chances to take 

Pictures of you
climb into view 
I'm following in your footsteps
tryin' to make some sense of it all 
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
but that's where my footsteps fall 

I'm following in your footsteps
watchin' my children grow 
They're following in my footsteps 
Takin' it on the road 
We're following in your footsteps 
'cos that's where the footsteps go 
We're following in your footsteps, yeah 
'cos that's where your footsteps go
