Footprints In The Sand
This gorgeous ballad with a gospel feel was released by British pop singer Leona Lewis in 2008. The lyrics carries the sentiment of the famous poem it was based on, without overtly referring to any religion. The arrangement features an alto soloist for the first verse, and a gospel lead over the dramatic final chorus which follows a short a cappella bridge. This song, with its message of gratitude, friendship, and support, is a great choice for a graduation or other ceremony.
Instrumentation: Piano/2 Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/3 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

You walked with me Footprints in the sand And helped me understand Where I'm going You walked with me When I was all alone With so much unknown Along the way Then I heard you say I promise you I'm always there When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair I'll carry you When you need a friend You'll find my footprints in the sand I see my life Flash across the sky So many times have I been so afraid And just when I I thought I'd lost my way You gave me strength to carry on That's when I heard you say I promise you I'm always there When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair And I'll carry you When you need a friend You'll find my footprints in the sand When I'm weary I know you'll be there And I can feel you When you say I promise you I'm always there When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair And I'll carry you When you need a friend You'll find my footprints in the sand (Leona Lewis)
