Hoofprints In The Sand

Ever since I can remember

I have wanted to be free

To roam the gorge and mountaintops

With no one chasing me

I've longed to travel to the place

that nature holds to heart

And to live a life of freedom

That no one can tear apart

To run along the beaches

And leave hoofprints in the sand

And to feel the water splashing

Oh, now, wouldn't that be grand

But now darkness has awoke

To cover all the hope

And all the dreams of which

I've spoke

As I see him walk towards me

With that needle in his hand,

I close my eyes forever

Leaving hoofprints in the sand
