Discover the story of the song > Footprints – t.o.k.

The song talks about different people going through tough times, like a mother losing her son to gun violence and a homeless child struggling to survive on the streets. They both pray for help and hear a voice that tells them they are not alone and that God is with them, even when they only see one set of footprints in the sand. The chorus repeats the message that when they cry, God cries with them and when they smile, God smiles with them.
