Calling and calling, nobody home
It feels like I'm falling alone
Out on an island, there's a voice on the beach
Watching your plane pass over me
How could you miss me?
With my hands in the air
I thought you were listening
I thought you'd be there!
Where were you?
When I had no one to turn to
Where were you?
When my worst fears were coming true
Where were you?
I thought you'd come to my rescue
Where were you?
One set of footprints, on the path I'd been on
But you say you've been here all along, oh
If you really loved me, like nobody else
Why was I walking through hell
How could you miss me?
With my hands in the air
I thought you were listening
Oh, I thought you'd be there!
Where were you?
When I had no one to turn to
Where were you?
When my worst fears were coming true
Where were you?
I thought you'd come to my rescue
When my prayers bounced off the ceiling
I was facing down my demons
When my legs gave up beneath me
And I fell into your arms
Where were you?
When I had no one to turn to
You carried me through
On your shoulders, black and blue
I never knew
The footprints in the sand were you
Were you
One set of footprints, on a path I'd been on
Now I know they were yours all along
