lyrics

We all leave our mark
Some light the earth
Others touch our hearts with their fingerprints

Some love to explore
Others write their stories
Some taste new wine
Others walk in glory

Some rise above
Many sink in pain
Others choose a different road or remain the same

Light through a window
There you'll see
Clear as the day, and hard to remove…Fingerprints

We all leave our mark
Sometimes understated
Slightest impressions with our fingerprints
With our fingerprints
You touched me with your fingerprints
