What is life if it doesn't have meaning

We're just extras in a movie passing by

What is a man if he doesn't have purpose

With nothing real to show for all his time

I don't want to be like footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark like the stars shine in the dark

I don't want to be something that will fade away

A distant memory punched out by the sea

Like footprints in the sand

For as long as I'm breathing I will use my voice to

Sing what's in my heart

And with these hands I rebuild what was broken

I will lift the ones who don't have strength to stand

I don't want to be like footprints in the sand the sand

I want to leave my mark like the stars shine in the dark

Stars shine in the dark

I don't want to be something that will fade away

A distant memory punched out by the sea

Like footprints in the sand

Don't remember me for the superficial things

Just remember how I showed my heart

And when you speak of me oh I hope you tell the things

I did on this earth to do my part

Cause I don't want to be like footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark like the stars shine in the dark

And I don't want to be something that will fade away

A distant memory punched out by the sea

I don't want to be footprints in the sand

I want to leave my mark like the stars shine in the dark

I don't want to be something that will fade away

A distant memory punched out by the sea

Like footprints in the sand
