Footprints

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
And she looked up to the sky
And she heard a voice reply-y-y
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
Abondoned when he was two
So the streets that cares and the shopping mall was the family he knew
It’s not easy being homeless
Sometimes you have do what you have to do
And he didnt 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-y-y
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
Based on a true story

It was early Sunday morning me get up a watch di news
Den mi hear seh a last night a seaview dem kill a yute
Den mama tell me seh har church sista Jackie-lynn

But you know seh man a tuggy so yuh nah guh see me cry
Everyday day and everynight she still a ask the fadda why
Her brother had to die
She hear 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
