lyrics

The Legacy

All those smiles tonight
In a city full of lights
Walking through the heights
Stars shining bright
In this city of lights

Sitting by the side of the road
And I’m
Thinking that it’s time to say no

This place is gift
What happened before
Will matter someday
if we’re going to stay
Lets find a new way
We do it to those who will hold
The future when we grow old

We did it to those who will own
The future when we grow old

All those cars tonight
Where is your mind
Not to late to rewind
But still we cant decide
Running through a city of lights
Maybe things will turn out all right.

This place is gift
What happened before (just look what we’ve done)
Will matter today
if we’re able to stay
This place will be theirs
We did this to them
To those who we owe
Let’s settle the score

This place is a gift
What happened before
Will matter today
If we’ll be able to stay
Lets find a new way
We do it to those who will hold
The future when we grow old

You know you’ll matter some day
Those things will not go away
Who’s life os this anyway?
If we’ll be able to stay
