| I don’t mind if you’ve got something nice to say about me And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
|
| And you can take my picture and hang it in a gallery
|
| Of all the Who’s Who’s and So-and-So's
|
| That used to be the best at such and such
|
| It wouldn’t matter much
|
| I won’t lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
|
| We all need an «Atta boy"or «Atta girl»
|
| But in the end I’d like to hang my hat on more besides
|
| The temporary trappings of this world
|
| I want to leave a legacy
|
| How will they remember me?
|
| Did I choose to love?
|
| Did I point to You enough
|
| To make a mark on things
|
| I want to leave an offering
|
| A child of mercy and grace
|
| Who blessed Your name unapologetically
|
| And leave that kind of legacy
|
| I don’t have to look too far or too long awhile
|
| To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy
|
| It’s an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
|
| Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon
|
| Enough destroy
|
| I want to leave a legacy
|
| How will they remember me?
|
| Did I choose to love?
|
| Did I point to You enough
|
| To make a mark on things
|
| I want to leave an offering
|
| A child of mercy and grace
|
| Who blessed Your name unapologetically
|
| And leave that kind of legacy
|
| Not well-traveled, not well-read
|
| Not well-to-do, or well-bred
|
| Just want to hear instead
|
| Well done, good and faithful one
|
| I want to leave a legacy
|
| How will they remember me?
|
| Did I choose to love?
|
| Did I point to You enough
|
| To make a mark on things
|
| I want to leave an offering
|
| A child of mercy and grace
|
| Who blessed Your name unapologetically
|
| And leave that kind of legacy
|
| I don’t mind if you’ve got something nice to say about me |
