Footprints Lyrics

Cry, cry, cry
Yo, one set a footprint inna di sand
And yuh, a rumble and a screw, yuh, tink it should a be two
Memba one tink mi yute a Fadda God a we plan
So when, yuh, see one set a footprint a God a 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, then 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 streetside kids at the shopping mall was the family he knew
It's not easy being homeless

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do
And he didn't have a mom 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
It was early Sunday mornin', me get up and watch di news
Then mi hear seh last night a Seaview dem kill a yute
Then, mama tell mi seh har church sista Jacqueline
Just lose har brodda, ova Seaview Garden
When she tell mi Jah Jah know it, mash mi up nah tell nuh lie
But she know seh man a thuggish so, yuh nah go see mi cry
Everyday and every night she still a ask di Fadda why
Her brodda had to die, she hear her 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
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
