[Verse 1] Daylight on the water, our waka cut the blue. We held the paddle, I’m running with you. Men came hard behind us, their voices sharp and mean. You said, “Keep to my footsteps, stay small, and stay unseen.” [Pre-Chorus] If they call, don’t answer. If they shout, don’t move. Put your feet where mine go. Trust the ground I choose. [Chorus] Walk my footsteps walk my footsteps Hide in my steps Walk my footsteps walk my footsteps Till they pass us by [Verse 2] We reached the next shore trembling, salt still in our hair. You led me through the cane grass, told me, “Breathe like air.” “See what they are hunting? See how they look around? When fear comes close, go silent. Let it not know sound.” [Pre-Chorus] If they look, keep moving. If they turn, hold still. My shadow will be cover. My love will be your shield. [Chorus] Walk my footsteps walk my footsteps Hide in my steps Walk my footsteps walk my footsteps Till they pass us by [Bridge] Many men on the sand path, counting shapes they knew. They saw us as two bodies, then found only one in view. Their anger hit the shoreline, empty hands and no prize. But you were deep inside me, safe behind my eyes. [Final Chorus] Walk my footsteps walk my footsteps Hide in my steps Walk my footsteps walk my footsteps Till they pass us by [Outro] Daylight over islands. Their rage went thin and far. You was taken, im still breathing under your bright star.
