I'm walking here at the shore,
Looking at the cloudy sky.
How peaceful as it looks,
I stop as I saw foot steps.

Someone's foot steps to be specific.
I looked closely and started following it.
I'm walking its every steps,
My toes are to small to fit in.

Reminded me of something.
Walking to someone's foot steps,
Following someone's track,
Following someone's dream.

Am I like a dog?
Following every command?
Am I not like a bird?
Who's free to fly?

I stayed behind someone's shadow.
Living to be someone
Who really can't be me.
Can't I be myself even just for now?

Can I make my own track
Using my own foot steps?
Can I follow my own dream,
Like how I follow someone's dreams?

I now at my reality,
Looking back to the foot steps,
I smiled bitterly,
I sigh and looked behind.

Maybe it's time already
To slowly put my toe to the side,
Away from the steps I'm following
And start walking.

I'm walking at my own track.
My own foot steps now.
Like how I made a new track,
A new track for my dreams.

This will be a lesson
That I will never forget.
Walking at someone's foot steps,
Now I'm walking at my own.
