Verse 1: Do you hear me? Is you listenin'

Will I cry

Bear your cross in this lost world
Even when it becomes agonizing,
Living out a single day without
Idolizing worldly principles or compromising your God.
Legacy
They want to know about it

We wear our legacy beneath our skin
We strive to always to be remembered
