+Trey Jack I'm pretty sure this song was meant for Beyonce, and knowing Queen B, show would have done this song justice. But I agree with you, I enjoy her singing it a lot!!
+Tomodachi San This song was meant for Beyoncé. But, she rejected it. This song was supposedly conceptualized during a writing session in the Hamptons.
Thank you for this song Sia. Thank you for being an instrument to save peoples lives. This song reminds me that the Lord never leaves me, He is always there for me. Along the journey, He keep an eye on me because He loves me very much. Keep inspiring people Sia.
i live for sia. a lot of people say her music is crazy but if they take the time & listen to the words of the song. in every song she tells a story & every story is about her journey is through life & love someone who can tell a story through their music like sia Do I 💕💞sia
Sia, I just love you ... you're lyrics are mature and your voice has so much feeling. Every song speaks to me. Amazing artist, and person. A wise person once told me, that any person who has ever had struggles and perseveres, has the power to teach us and to reach us. And Sia does this seemingly effortlessly. Thank you Fatimah
She is one of my favorite female singers and when I heard this song I just started crying. I knew then that every hurt that I was dealing with would be healed because I have Jesus on my side. I love how this song is like the poem "Footprints." Sometimes when we are hurting we forget the smallest blessings and things that make us happy. ♥
no it was a story of a man dreaming of walking in the sand with the lord and he saw flashes of his memories in the sky but when he gets to the sad part of his life he notice that there was only one sets of foot print in the sand so when he arrive to the last scene of his memories he ask the lord why he abandon him when he needed the lord the most the lord answered him "my precious child I could never abandon you for I was only carrying you to safety " so basically sia is so amazing she even gets to wright a song that's very blessed and holy and maybe she dreamed the same dreamed that man dreamed off
My mother read the poem that you are singing for over 20 years ago, and I had to put a poem in a school work and my mother suggested me this. My mother said it was the most beautiful poem she ever read, and I also think it's the best I've ever read. Oh you throw this poem music on youtube. When I read the translation until I got a fright. MY GOD ♥ ♥ Consciousness? I think not... Sia that perfect song, Love You
3 years ago.. and till now.. you feel like sia tells the story of your life in each song. She kinda knows you better than yourself. This is not acting. This is LEGEND.
I don't know how to describe this song. When I hear it, it gives me a sad vibe but at the same time, it makes me happy and warms my heart. The feeling when you are beside of your partner?
SIA is a one off!!!!!!!!Unique,incredible,unstoppable and the greatest female singer that I’ve ever ever heard in my whole life!!!!!!!!!!EVERY word resonates with my experiences of this very challenging and beautiful life.Thank you SIA 4 just being you,AMAZING!!!!!!!!!x❤️💋
When after listening to this song for years it suddenly hits you that the 2 footprints are yours and you're mentioning YOURSELF in the 3rd person ! YOU carried YOURSELF to safety ♥️
Listening to this song because I want to let G-d know how grateful I am; for me having the things we take for granted, but they are actually miracles: having family, friends, a home and a country to live in ❤
Cómo está canción solo tiene 12 millones, esto es una obra de arte. Gracias Sia por dejarte usar y ser luz para tantos. Esta canción me recuerda siempre que no importa por el momento más oscuro que esté pasando, Dios siempre va llevarme en sus brazos 🙌🏽😭
Got all her songs in my phone playlist, from ''1000 forms of fears'' to ''This is acting"" .......I never get tired to listening to Sia. Simply love her and her voice and her music. She is perfection
I hope Sia has always been a diverse person because I’ve loved her for many years. This song is a great travel song & as a woman of color I hope she sings & spreads love for all!
There's something about Sia that makes someone cry even if they don't want to. Gotta love her, there's noone quite like her. #StillSwingingFromTheChandelier
Lyrics: I've fallen through the floor again Crashed into the basement The pain was swallowing me I was like a lead balloon I couldn't even get up to turn The lights on The dark was swallowing me Lord knows you can't trust your head When you're standing on the edge Of breaking down Lord knows you can't trust your head When you're hanging by a thread I was breaking down And I saw only two footprints in the sand Thought you'd abandoned me and Let go of my hand But you were carrying me Carrying me to safety Two footprints, your footprints in the sand Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand Two footprints, your footprints in the sand Oh, I forgot the things I knew It was I who'd abandoned you Forgive me, I was lost in doubt Who would never've left my side Picked me up when I thought I would die You helped me, and I was found Lord knows you can't trust your head When you're standing on the edge Of breaking down Lord knows you can't trust your head When you're hanging by a thread I was breaking down And I saw only two footprints in the sand Thought you'd abandoned me and Let go of my hand But you were carrying me Carrying me to safety Two footprints, your footprints in the sand Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
I think this is Sia's best song. So much emotions and sincerity in this song (rarely found in nowadays music) It gives me goosebumps. Fusion between Sia, Adele and Pink would be......
I relate to this so much!! What an amazing song and I can't believe I'm hearing it for the first time!! Thank you Lord for sia and her music!! This song is now one of my top go to songs!! ❤
Sia deserve grammy ... Best Singer, Best Live, Best Album...etc

Sia makes these songs for these singers and when they reject them, she sings them herself and no one could of sang it better.
ik.....and of ... those are her songs and she knows the best how to sing them
i agree😤
of course
+Trey Jack I'm pretty sure this song was meant for Beyonce, and knowing Queen B, show would have done this song justice. But I agree with you, I enjoy her singing it a lot!!
+Tomodachi San This song was meant for Beyoncé. But, she rejected it. This song was supposedly conceptualized during a writing session in the Hamptons.

SIA's rhythmic timing is crazy. She rides a beat like no other, and sings like a grown ass woman who has been thru some shit lol. FIRE!!
Exactly she sounds like a woman and not a little girl like many artists now.

Along the journey, He keep an eye on me because He loves me very much.
Keep inspiring people Sia.
Same.
Right😊
What really makes me emotional about this whole album is how she words the feelings because no one's ever phrased them before the way she does.
I couldn't agree more. Her prosody is beautiful. 🎼🎶💕
This song can be a very good gospel song... that lyrics can be justified to God.
*could be#
I'm not even a Christian, but this song gets to me every time.
What's religion got to do with anything? Lol...
hahaha y eso que tiene que ver??? // LOL and What does that have to do with it?
The lyrics are based on a christian poem or something.
@@roflpill en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footprints_(poem)
@@roflpill Based on Deuteronomy 1:31
One of the most moving and life changing songs I've ever heard
Esteban Orlando Vega try listening to a band called bethel they have some life changing songs too
I will try it out ! Joy Joy
Ugh I'm seriously crying going through the album.
Happened to me. When I got to Broken Glass I shed few tears won't lie.. She is truly incredible. I needed this in my life!
Oml i am too
Broken glass one million bullets, House on fire and Alive are the best of the album😍😍
Forever grateful that Sia brought this ancient story to life.
i live for sia. a lot of people say her music is crazy but if they take the time & listen to the words of the song. in every song she tells a story & every story is about her journey is through life & love someone who can tell a story through their music like sia Do I 💕💞sia

She is one of my favorite female singers and when I heard this song I just started crying. I knew then that every hurt that I was dealing with would be healed because I have Jesus on my side. I love how this song is like the poem "Footprints."
Sometimes when we are hurting we forget the smallest blessings and things that make us happy. ♥

no it was a story of a man dreaming of walking in the sand with the lord and he saw flashes of his memories in the sky but when he gets to the sad part of his life he notice that there was only one sets of foot print in the sand so when he arrive to the last scene of his memories he ask the lord why he abandon him when he needed the lord the most the lord answered him "my precious child I could never abandon you for I was only carrying you to safety " so basically sia is so amazing she even gets to wright a song that's very blessed and holy and maybe she dreamed the same dreamed that man dreamed off
I used to listen to Sia so much, the nostalgia hits hard.
My mother read the poem that you are singing for over 20 years ago, and I had to put a poem in a school work and my mother suggested me this. My mother said it was the most beautiful poem she ever read, and I also think it's the best I've ever read. Oh you throw this poem music on youtube. When I read the translation until I got a fright.

Consciousness? I think not...
Sia that perfect song, Love You
yup, very old poem about God
Moises Freitas ❤
Bárbara Braz i love that poem! i aswell did a school project on it.
This woman ... I cannot get enough of her songs, of her trembling strong voice ... she got into my head and right in the feels.
Sia has the best female voice on earth !😖😖😖🔥❤️
After almost 7 years I can only say thanks so much mother Sia for saving me
How are you doing now man?
@@patrickmcguire3122 I’m doing amazing, she literally saved me ❤️

Underrated song🖤

I remember listening to this daily when it was first released 😢
3 years ago.. and till now.. you feel like sia tells the story of your life in each song. She kinda knows you better than yourself. This is not acting. This is LEGEND.
most definitely one of the greatest vocalists of all time.
I don't know how to describe this song. When I hear it, it gives me a sad vibe but at the same time, it makes me happy and warms my heart. The feeling when you are beside of your partner?
Is she an alien ? Coz I'm sure this talent and passion aren't from Earth , unbelievable
Dopeboii S She is an Angel
She's a demon
Love this song. Reminds me of the poem "Footprints".
This song was inspired by it
Finally someone else said this! I thought I was the only person that thought this song reminded me of the poem!
SIA is a one off!!!!!!!!Unique,incredible,unstoppable and the greatest female singer that I’ve ever ever heard in my whole life!!!!!!!!!!EVERY word resonates with my experiences of this very challenging and beautiful life.Thank you SIA 4 just being you,AMAZING!!!!!!!!!x❤️💋

I love this song so much, I love our queen Sia so much 🖤🤍
I can't stop listening to this...
The part "Lord knows..." is stuck in my head
This is one of my favourite sia tracks. I love the concept of this song. I've a whole video in my head for it all. Lol. ♡
Got all her songs in my phone playlist, from ''1000 forms of fears'' to ''This is acting"" .......I never get tired to listening to Sia. Simply love her and her voice and her music. She is perfection
One of the best songs. Should've been a single.
I hope Sia has always been a diverse person because I’ve loved her for many years. This song is a great travel song & as a woman of color I hope she sings & spreads love for all!
Her songs speak to every depressed soul out there..
There's something about Sia that makes someone cry even if they don't want to. Gotta love her, there's noone quite like her.
#StillSwingingFromTheChandelier
This is a masterpiece... Sia makes me cry everytime
I love you, Sia! Such a gifted performer! That voice is amazing!
Adoring fans ==_==
Addicted
I can't stop listening to sia😭😭😭
I was just making a new Spotify playlist.. When Sia dropped this album, you can probably guess how much longer it became.
Casey Taylor I was making a playlist too but it baceme too long beacause of Sia and I decided to make another, only with her beautiful songs.
she deserves a grammy for her music, but if this is acting she deserves a oscar, i'm sorry Leo
Lyrics:
I've fallen through the floor again
Crashed into the basement
The pain was swallowing me
I was like a lead balloon
I couldn't even get up to turn
The lights on
The dark was swallowing me
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
Of breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Oh, I forgot the things I knew
It was I who'd abandoned you
Forgive me, I was lost in doubt
Who would never've left my side
Picked me up when I thought I would die
You helped me, and I was found
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're standing on the edge
Of breaking down
Lord knows you can't trust your head
When you're hanging by a thread
I was breaking down
And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you'd abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
i will give my whole life to Sia im crying this is a masterpiece
i'm addicted to this song
Sia harmonizing with herself>>>>
nunca decepciona ❤
Tienes Razon
sia sempre pft
tienes razon ♥
Sia Cada Vez Crece Mas
no . no lo hace . la amoo es tan unicaa
I think this is Sia's best song. So much emotions and sincerity in this song (rarely found in nowadays music) It gives me goosebumps. Fusion between Sia, Adele and Pink would be......
Every time I hear this I cry!! And think of that poem called footprints 😢😢😢
This album is so flawless!!! Every single song is so great!!! If she won't win Grammy this year than people have lost the taste in music.
I love her so much. Her songs are all so meaningful.
I Have good memories hearing this song, and the album. I Miss my 2016/2017. 😔💔
This song is everything. She needs a Grammy already
This song sounds like a Christian gospel song. Even the chorus, i once heard it in a sermon.
Everyone needs to give a grammy to Sia
sia you will never disappoint. You are the greatest.
FOR ME THE BEST EVER
SIA 💚💙
I literally haven't heard a single SIA song I didn't like. she's the best!
Umas das melhores músicas. Sia, te amo. 🇧🇷❤
Sounds so much better with headphones on. the bass and beat is easier to hear and enjoy.
Grammys should be ashamed.It makes me emotional and angry that she doesnt have a grammy.In fact,all the other awards
I relate to this so much!! What an amazing song and I can't believe I'm hearing it for the first time!! Thank you Lord for sia and her music!! This song is now one of my top go to songs!! ❤
Não tem ninguém melhor que essa mulher: merece todoa os prêmios da música!
Such a sad song with a catchy tune to it actually, it's beautiful. The lyrics are so deep.
Let's get this beautiful song up to ten million views!!!
I will hear this song one day and remember how much I needed this voice.
No sé cómo pudieron rechazar estas increíbles canciones, pero bueno, creo que la canción se escucha más exquisita en la voz de Sia.
#SiaEsGenial
I love you Sia
I almost forgot how wonderful this song is ❤️
Nobody can sing like sia.... She's perfect...
