Legacy

Her mama raised her on Jesus

She wears a cross around her neck but never preaches

She prays alone when no sees it

She’s always strong

And holding on even at her weakest

She’s got a heartache where her dreams had been

Gave it all up for a couple kids

Didn’t have much but enough to give

She’s everything I wanna be

She had pain

She covered up

But she\'s always shown her love

Carried me this far

And when she’s gone

I’ll carry on her legacy

The deck of cards that she was given

Had no aces but she played ‘em to the limit

Heart ain\'t even from this planet

She’s never angry and I’ll never understand it

She’s got a heartache where her dreams had been

Gave it all up for a couple kids

Didn’t have much but enough to give

She’s everything I wanna be

She had pain she covered up

But she\'s always shown her love

Carried me this far

And when she’s gone

I’ll carry on her legacy

I’ll carry on her legacy

Truth is I could try but I’m clueless

Of how to live up to be more than half the woman that she been

She’s like a Alice in wonderland

The very first one to hold my hand

And show me this world ‘fore I jumped in

She’s everything I wanna be

She had pain she covered up

But she\'s always shown her love

Carried me this far

And when she’s gone

I’ll carry on her legacy

I’ll carry on her legacy
