Zanele Mavuso - Footsteps

15/07/2011
Footsteps, Footsteps
I hear footsteps
Footsteps, Footsteps
I hear a sound
Footsteps, Footsteps
I see a trail of footsteps

Footsteps are a trail of your direction
Footsteps determination of your success
Walking takes you to the future
Walking brings you to your destination

We walk the grounds of this earth
Headed to different directions
We walk on the sands of this earth
Leaving foot prints on the ground
Your character and personality
Defined by the steps you take
Our history is defined by the step we take
Your footsteps are struggles you go through

The steps you take count
Distance to judgment
When you are no more your steps disappear from the sand
When you are no more the road ends.
Your footsteps are what you are, what you’ve been
What you’ll be and what you’ll never be
The journey of your life is seen in the steps you take

Your footsteps are your definition of character
