Living Legacy

No soul is lost
While truth walks on
Beyond our years
The heart remembers
A name is only passing breath
If no one walks its faithful path
Honor is never born from praise
But from the lives it quietly shapes
One faithful soul
Can awaken generations
Tell me
What truly outlives time
Live on... live on... through every heart
That's where legends truly start
Not by power... not by fame
But by the goodness we became
Heart to heart... hand to hand
Hope is how the heroes stand
When we live the truth they gave
Nothing time can ever take
No child has seen the ancient face
Yet still they carry all his grace
No eye recalls his mortal form
Yet still his spirit keeps them warm
Not in memory alone
But in every choice we own
Every act of selfless light
Lets another dawn arise
A voice grows quiet
A virtue never does
Pass it on... pass it on... don't let go
Like the rivers... like the snow
Honor learned... honor shared
Makes a stranger truly cared
Name to name... soul to soul
Every kindness makes us whole
A life is never measured long
It's measured by what journeys on
Not our faces
Keep our fire
Not our voices
Keep our light
Generation... after generation
Don't remember who we were
Become the truth we chose to serve
Don't repeat our every name
Carry on the living flame
Stone will fade... and songs grow old
Hearts are where forever's told
A hero never walks alone
While love and honor journey on
The children rise
The story breathes
A living legacy
Will never leave
