Mmm yeah
Searching for the footprint of the man who wears the sandal
Ah ah ah
Searching for the footprint of the man who wears the sandal ah
Ah wo-oh-oh yea
Oh Lord, look what they've done yea
Oh Lord, look what they've done to you now
Look what they've done to you now

"Larry wrote this during his days in the People band. It is the English transliteration of another song of his called "Kulderachna," which he later recorded for So Long Ago The Garden. "Kulderachna" was written in a middle eastern language and then "jargonized" by Larry when he and his sisters used to perform it in the mid-Sixties. Simply, both "Kulderachna" and "Looking For The Footprints" are about following the path that Jesus laid down during His life on earth."
