Lyrics
I ve got the footprints of a giant stretching out in front of me, they tell me i look just like you, sometimes i run through the woods with my pellet gun
And someday when you re out walkin you ll hear a voice from behind you, each year i grow
and the flag flies low
And the guard salutes with the snap of their boots to the hero neath the red, they say i ve got your mischievous smile Giant, but they don t see what i see
and the flag flies low
But they don t see what i see, sayin wait up dad and you re goin a little too fast and i ll run up to you
Days i shut out the world and just come undone, they say son you walk alone now, they say i ve got your mischievous smile
Days i shut out the world and just come undone, i ve got the footprints of a giant stretching out in front of me
They tell me someday i ll make make sense of this, each year i grow
each passing mile
My days out in the sun, and i lie awake dreaming someday i might be just like the man, and i ll walk in your steps with my little feet until someday they fit
and the flag flies low
And the guard salutes with the snap of their boots to the hero neath the red, 21 guns smoke
Pretend i am fighting, and the flag flies low
each year i grow
But they don t see what i see, days i shut out the world and just come undone, but i ll try my best to live life like you did
In the footprints of a giant, my days out in the sun
There will be lonely days, 21 guns smoke
there will be lonely days
but i ll try my best to live life like you did
With the camouflage maple leaf on his sleeve yeah i d be just like you dad, and the guard salutes with the snap of their boots to the hero neath the red Giant, 21 guns smoke
Sayin wait up dad and you re goin a little too fast and i ll run up to you, days i shut out the world and just come undone
Days i shut out the world and just come undone, each passing mile
They say i ve got your mischievous smile, with the camouflage maple leaf on his sleeve yeah i d be just like you dad, there will be lonely days
With the camouflage maple leaf on his sleeve yeah i d be just like you dad, laugh at the crazy things you did
Pretend i am fighting, they say son you walk alone now
in the footprints of a giant
there will be lonely days
they say son you walk alone now
I hope someday they fit, each passing mile, each passing mile
But they don t see what i see, each passing mile
each passing mile
There will be lonely days, and i ll walk in your steps with my little feet until someday they fit Brody, there will be lonely days
each passing mile
They tell me i look just like you, days i shut out the world and just come undone
And the flag flies low, there will be lonely days, they tell me i look just like you
I ll learn about you from your best friends, they say i ve got your mischievous smile, and the guard salutes with the snap of their boots to the hero neath the red
And fill my years with sun, they tell me i look just like you
They tell me i look just like you, i ll learn about you from your best friends, but i ll try my best to live life like you did
My days out in the sun, there will be lonely days, they tell me someday i ll make make sense of this
And i ll walk in your steps with my little feet until someday they fit, they say i ve got your mischievous smile, they say i ve got your mischievous smile
each year i grow
And the guard salutes with the snap of their boots to the hero neath the red, and someday when you re out walkin you ll hear a voice from behind you
each passing mile
In the footprints of a giant, and by thousands they say goodbye, and i hear that boy he is lost now
they tell me i look just like you
Days i shut out the world and just come undone, but they don t see what i see
They say i ve got your mischievous smile, 21 guns smoke Giant, days i shut out the world and just come undone
and the flag flies low
Pretend i am fighting, i ve got the footprints of a giant stretching out in front of me
Each passing mile, they tell me someday i ll make make sense of this
But they don t see what i see, 21 guns smoke, my days out in the sun
Sometimes i run through the woods with my pellet gun, they say son you walk alone now
With the camouflage maple leaf on his sleeve yeah i d be just like you dad, with the boys on juno beach with some pinecone grenades in my red flyer wagon Brody, they say i ve got your mischievous smile
And i hear that boy he is lost now, each passing mile
They say son you walk alone now, they tell me someday i ll make make sense of this
