Lyrics
MY LEGACY (1) WELL, I MAY NEVER SEE MY NAME UP IN LIGHTS ON BROADWAY OR STUMBLE ACROSS THE CURE FOR THE COMMON COLD. OR WIN A MILLION DOLLARS SAYIN' THAT'S MY FINAL ANSWER. OR RUN THE RACE THAT TAKES OLYMPIC GOLD. BUT, THAT'S OKAY IF I NEVER HIT THE BIG TIME. I'VE GOT TODAY AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS NOW. CHORUS I'M GONNA SING, I'M GONNA DANCE, I'M GONNA LIVE AS IF IT'S MY LAST CHANCE. TELL THE WORLD IT'S GREAT TO BE ALIVE. MAKING A WAY TAKIN' MY TIME 'CAUSE I GOTTA KNOW THE MARK I LEAVE BEHIND IS GONNA MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT'LL BE SOMETHING FROM THE VERY HEART OF ME. IT'S MY LEGACY. (2) CHANCES ARE I'LL NEVER SING A SONG THAT WINS A GRAMMY, OR CIRCLE THE GLOBE IN EIGHTY DAYS. NOR THE PERSON WHO DISCOVERS THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS OR OR COME UP WITH THAT LATEST CATCH-ALL PHRASE THAT'S FINE WITH ME THEY CAN HAVE THEIR FAME AND FORTUNE I'M GONNA BE AT PEACE WITH WHO I AM. REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE: OH, WHEN I'VE LEFT THIS WORLD I WILL KNOW I'VE DONE MY BEST TO MAKE IT BETTER. THIS SONG I SING IS FOR ALL THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN GOTTA LET MY MUSIC STAND THE TEST OF TIME.
