What is my legacy going to be
When I die what will people say about me
Will they be stricken with grief
Or secretly let out a sigh of relief
Will they realize that I tried to live with love
I tried to be someone that God and I would be proud of
Will they see that I did care
When dark clouds arose I tried to be there
Will they say I was that kind of friend
One you could depend on until the world's end
Will they say that in my own small way I changed the world
This small town, dreamer, proud southern girl
Most of all I hope they would say
That through me they witnessed God's love in the most beautiful way
Every now and then the thought crosses my mind
I wonder what my legacy will be, what will I leave behind
