Words & music by geoff thurman & lowell alexander 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 (chorus) 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'm 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 Give me the vision Fills me with a pa**ion 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 (repeat chorus 3 x)
