your legacy

*a new song I started around Christmas when my 91 year old grandpa had just had a stroke and our whole family was pretty shook up and devastated. I just finished it this weekend. This song is obviously very close to my heart.


verse
once there was a father
and he chose to teach his daughter
about life and love and honesty

time passed and then that daughter
well she soon became a mother
and she passed those lessons onto me

pre chorus
every piece of me from my head down to my toes
is a part of you that's contuining to grow

chorus
and when the time comes for you to leave me
all that I've done and everything I've ever hoped to be
comes down to one main responsibility
your legacy
your legacy

verse two
once there was a woman
with warm blue eyes & soft hands
and she raised three babies to believe

that family is a treasure
and there's really nothing better
than spending time together
making memories

pre chorus
everything I am begins& ends with you
you're the seed & I'm the tree about to bloom

chorus

bridge
when I make my own traditions
and when I start my family
you'll be the one that I'll be missing
wishing you were here to share it all with me

chorus
and when the time comes for you to leave me
all that I've done and everything I've ever hoped to be
comes down to one main responsibility
your legacy
your legacy
