| My father knew it
|
| And his before him
|
| And it goes way back down the line
|
| They had a vision
|
| A prayer for the future
|
| For what I would believe in time
|
| Now I’m not perfect
|
| Life’s not easy
|
| But I wouldn’t take the world for what they gave to me
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| Walking the path that the faithful have laid down
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| Finding the hope that my fathers found
|
| I am standing tall
|
| When I’m on my knees
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| Something in common
|
| Deep inside me
|
| With those before me who are gone
|
| It gives me the vision
|
| Fills me with passion
|
| To make the message carry on
|
| Lord, I’m not perfect
|
| Life’s not easy
|
| But for the future’s sake
|
| I’m gonna do the best I can
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| Walking the path that the faithful ones have paved
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| Giving the hope that my fathers gave
|
| I am standing tall
|
| When I’m on my knees
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| Walking the path that the faithful have laid down
|
| I’m living the legacy
|
| I’m finding the hope that my fathers found
|
| I am standing tall
|
| When I’m on my knees
|
| I’m living the legacy |
