Legacy

I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me And I enjoy an accolade like the rest And you could 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'(repeat chorus) 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..(repeat chorus) I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me. --- Legacy - Nichole Nordeman
