Legacy

Waking up and finally breathing

A heart beat and a thought

And you came into this world

Instinct was to cry but sickness kept you quite

You're little eyes stayed closed

And your fingers didn't move

For the moment you were gone

And God told you to stay

So now he'll keep you safe

And play with you all day

Give you love

And hold you close

You're daddies little boy

And he couldn't be more proud

He'll watch you grow into a man

And give you all he can

Teach you all he knows

Then he'll pass away

And leave you on your own

But what he's taught

And the love he brought

It will get you through

From God's gift to him

You'll carry on the legacy

You'll take an angel home

Show him all that he showed you

Be the father

Your father was to you
