She took her first few steps on Destin Beach
Nobody watchin' her but her daddy and me
He held her tiny little hand, I watched her tiny little feet
And I wondered where those first steps would lead
Baby footprints in the sand
At sweet sixteen, where will they land
Will she find the perfect boy
Will they run and jump for joy
Or will she take a lover's leap
With some walk-away-Joe she meets
I can't see God's plan
Jus' baby footprints in the sand
As the sun went West lookin' for its bed
I watched her shadow grow, up to five-foot-ten
In a moment,
I was cryin' an' when my husband turned around
Before he spoke, I said "just look down"
Baby footprints in the sand
At twenty-one, where will they land
Who will be there if she falls
What if we're not here to call
Will she walk a righteous path
Or get lost and not look back
I can't see God's plan
Jus' baby footprints in the sand
A wave rolled in and washed away
What it took her a year to make
She got splashed, but she just laughed
That's my child, so bold and brave
Baby footprints in the sand
When she's grown, where will they land
Will she march in some peace corp
Or soldier on in a world war
How on earth do we let go
God help us I don't know
I can't see God's plan
Jus' baby footprints in the sand
Baby footprints in the sand
