Looking through my memories
Like footprints in the sand
See you kept me company
God beside the man

See your footprints next to mine
But what I need to know
Is why on all my worst of times
I see I walked alone

And all the times that I was victimised
And all the times that I was compromised
Were you watching over me those days?

And all the times that I was terrorised
And all the times that I was criticised
Were you watching over me those days?

Did your spirit comfort me
With music to my ears?
Melodies and harmonies
Beautiful and clear

Did your voice call out to me
To show that you were there?
Did your hand reach out for me
To show me that you care?

And all the times that I was lost and tired
And all the times that I was cold inside
Were you watching over me those days?

And all the times that I was terrified
And all the times I thought of suicide
Were you watching over me those days?

Were you watching over me?
And did you call my name?
Did the words you spoke to me
Put courage in my veins?

Were you watching over me?
And did you understand?
Did your love wash over me
Like footprints in the sand?

And all the times I thought that you were dead
And all the cruel and heartless things I said
Did you turn your back on me those days?

And all the faith in you that I denied
And all the feelings that I kept inside
Did you turn your back on me those days?

You were watching over me
But how was I to know?
And all the time you carried me
I thought I was alone

You were watching over me
Through all the worst of times
The single footprints I can see
I thought that they were mine
