Lyrics

[00:01.59] I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
[00:07.34] And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
[00:11.40]
[00:12.90] And you can take my picture and hang it in a gallery
[00:16.97] Of all the who's who's and so-and-so's
[00:19.12]
[00:20.81] That used to be the best at such and such
[00:24.43]
[00:25.67] It wouldn't matter much
[00:28.17]
[00:35.81] I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
[00:40.68] We all need an atta boy or atta girl
[00:43.93]
[00:46.31] But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
[00:49.87]
[00:50.99] The temporary trappings of this world
[00:53.43]
[00:55.06] I want to leave a legacy
[00:56.68]
[00:58.06] How will they remember me?
[00:59.37]
[01:00.56] Did I choose to love?
[01:02.56]
[01:04.18] Did I point to You enough
[01:05.81]
[01:06.56] To make a mark on things
[01:08.56] I want to leave an offering
[01:10.18]
[01:12.06] A child of mercy and grace
[01:13.74]
[01:14.87] Who blessed Your name unapologetically
[01:19.42]
[01:22.42] And leave that kind of legacy
[01:25.73]
[01:30.29] I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
[01:34.35]
[01:35.48] To make a lengthy list of all that I enjoy
[01:38.73]
[01:40.72] It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
[01:44.79]
[01:45.73] Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon
[01:48.79] enough destroy
[01:49.61]
[01:51.10] I want to leave a legacy
[01:52.91]
[01:53.92] How will they remember me?
[01:55.48]
[01:56.29] Did I choose to love?
[01:59.04]
[01:59.67] Did I point to You enough
[02:02.67] To make a mark on things
[02:04.42] I want to leave an offering
[02:06.35]
[02:07.61] A child of mercy and grace
[02:10.66] Who blessed Your name unapologetically
[02:16.85]
[02:18.04] And leave that kind of legacy
[02:20.17]
[02:25.29] Not well-traveled, not well-read
[02:30.98] Not well-to-do, or well-bred
[02:34.42]
[02:37.04] I just want to hear instead
[02:40.67] Well done, good and faithful one
[02:48.12]
[02:56.71] I want to leave a legacy
[02:59.08] How will they remember me?
[03:02.40] Did I choose to love?
[03:05.40] Did I point to You enough
[03:07.97] To make a mark on things?
[03:10.03] I want to leave an offering
[03:13.09] A child of mercy and grace
[03:16.69] Who blessed Your name unapologetically
[03:20.60] And leave that kind of legacy
[03:26.16]
[03:36.43] I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
