Legacy
Ed Goggin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something I'd like for it to be
If I was a Billionaire
I'll give it all to charity
But if I had a heart of gold
Will never did a fear
I hold on to my dreams
If I had a legacy
There's something I'd like for it to be
I'd give every living soul
A piece of the gift you gave to me
Shadows are far too hard to climb
You taught me to step into the light
If I could help someone like me
This would be my legacy
Dreams are the sail that moves the soul
To be much more than we will ever know
If you had a Legacy
What would you like for it to be
What will your loved ones say
How will you help them find their way
What are the gifts you'll leave behind
The treasures that they'll find
It's right inside your dreams
It's your Legacy
/It's your Legacy/
My legacy
It's my Legacy
/This will be my Legacy/
/It's our Legacy/
Now it's right inside your dreams
And a gift you gave to me
And it's right inside your dreams
It's a gift you gave to me
Legacy
Your Legacy
Legacy
And it's right inside your dreams
/It's a gift you gave to me/
/It's your Legacy/
It's your...
A gift you gave to me
/It's your Legacy/
The lyrics to Ed Goggin's song Legacy focus on the idea of leaving a positive mark on the world that will be remembered long after we're gone. The first verse explores the concept of charity and the idea that if we were to have a large amount of wealth, it should all be given away to help others. The second verse speaks about the importance of having a heart of gold, living without fear, and pursuing one's dreams in order to create a legacy. The chorus repeats the theme of legacy, questioning what we will leave behind for our loved ones and for the world. The bridge invokes the idea that dreams can propel our souls to a greater purpose, and that we all have gifts to give that can help others.
