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 to me
I'm livin' the legacy
Walkin' the path that the faithful have laid down
I'm livin' the legacy
Findin' the hope that my fathers found
I am standin' tall when I'm on my knees
I'm livin' the legacy
Somethin' in common, deep inside me
With those before me who are gone
Gives me the vision, 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 livin' the legacy
Walkin' the path that the faithful have laid down
I'm livin' the legacy
Findin' the hope that my fathers found
I am standin' tall when I'm on my knees
I'm livin' the legacy
I'm livin' the legacy
Walkin' the path that the faithful have laid down
Livin' the legacy
Findin' the hope that my fathers found
I am standin' tall when I'm on my knees
I'm livin' the legacy, livin' the legacy
