one day I saw a man / with dusty sandled feet / and a big straw hat / he had a long brown beard / and a twinkle in his eyes. / I told him

chorus
I was walkin' / on a long dusty journey / across the mountains / through valleys and towns / I was looking for God.

He said look around you / in the mountains / the flowers in the valleys / watch the children laugh and cry / watch the people walkin' by.

I saw His footprints / in the dust behind the beggar / His writing in the sunset / I watched His hands move the clouds / felt His breath in the wind. / I felt His arms around me / when I hugged a lonely child / heard His laughter in the stream / and looked in His eyes / in a small hungry face.
