I wrote this lyric while on vacation this summer visiting family in upstate New York. My brother, Gary Chase, took the lyric home with him and wrote the music and is also singing the song.

Any feedback is welcome! Any genre stick out in your mind?

Thanks! smile

Legacy

When you’re tired
Without hope
And stumble on your feet
Be gentle, be kind
As you go
Dance a little in the street

When long days
Lay ahead
(And) the sun beats on your back
Stand up, stand down
As you go
Life goes by so very fast

[ch]
We leave a legacy
To our daughters and sons
Show them thru our actions
How they’re the lucky ones
Everything we have
Can be left for someone else
Cuz we leave a legacy
By just being ourselves

Pay it forward
Keep it simple
Enjoy the morning sun
Look inside, look out
As you go
There’s so much to be done

[br]
When opportunities come around
Listen to your heart sounds
Listen to your heart sounds
Listen to your heart

[ch]
We leave a legacy
To our daughters and sons
Show them thru our actions
How they’re the lucky ones
Everything we have
Can be left for someone else
Cuz we leave a legacy
By just being ourselves

We leave a legacy

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write,
if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be,
he must be. -- Abraham Maslow, American Psychologist
