Living the Legacy

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 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
Gives me the vision
Ooh, fills me with a passion
To make the message carry on

Now 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 have laid down
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
Living the legacy
