We all leave our footprints on the golden sand As we take our final breath from this land Some leave their step close to the water Some have wept over the death of their son or daughter So the ones closest to the shore Will be washed away by a wave They'll drown and die without asking for more And give up their final chance to be saved But some people leave their final footprints further away Just for a little while longer, they can admire the day Then they'll see the rest of society drowning in their aquatic fame Then ask themselves if they should've done the same But you must leave your mark on this world Or else you'll be washed away And you have to live for yourself Or this world will make you pay Would you rather leave your mark, or pleasantly drown? Would you rather leave this world by yourself, or your whole town? Do you also want to wear society's sea-blue gown? So when you swim, society will drag you down, But it is up to you to make sure you don't drown.
