There are those who fail, there are those who fall,
C G Dsus4 D
There are those who will never win,

Then there are those who fight for the things they believe,
C D G
And these are men like you and me;
G D Am Em
In my dream we walked, you and I to the shore,
C G Dsus4 D
Leaving footprints by the sea,
G D Am Em
And when there was just one set of prints in the sand,
C D G
That was when you carried me;
G D Am Em
You have always been such a good friend to me,
