10. Legacy

We Need Each Other
by Sanctus Real



 

What will they say when I’m gone, in words that are written in stone?
Under my name, what will they claim about me?

Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, we only get one life

Free me, my hands are tied
I’m so tired of wasting time
These endless inventions steal my attention from real life
And when it’s done, when it’s over…

Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, we only get one life

And will the world see Christ when they look at my life?
Oh, will the world see?

Oh, come on, give me, give me, give me real life

And no more, no more, no more wasting time
Because we only, we only get just one life

Behind the Song:
'It's about asking yourself what you're really living for. The older you get, the more you think about what truly matters in life. Seeing loved ones go home to be with the Lord and then turning around and looking into the eyes of your children sometimes makes you ask yourself, 'what will people say about me when I'm gone? Do they truly see Christ in my life?' It is our desire to leave behind a legacy that will point people to Jesus. That especially our closet friends and family, those who know us best, would say that we truly followed the Lord and would be inspired to always do the same.' -Mark Graalman (Sanctus Real)
