Lyrics
[Verse]
When the last chapter is finally told
In a weathered book marred by countless tears and folds
What legacy will be left for the world to behold?
When they see the footprints in the sand
In the countless places I once stood
Will the passage of time be the only thing to fill these shoes
Since no one else could?
[Chorus]
Well the earth and sky, they seem to have no end
But this shell I wear will soon return to dust
While I was here, would you have called me "friend"?
Or is everything I built destined to rust?
With every word I spoke
With every touch I gave
I hope it made it better
This world I helped pave
[Verse 2]
The last time my name is spoken
I will finally fade away
But the love I've shared will hopefully stay
Through the hands I've held
The hearts I've embraced
Maybe the mark I leave will not be erased
[Chorus]
Well the earth and sky, they seem to have no end
But this shell I wear will soon return to dust
While I was here, would you have called me "friend"?
Or is everything I built destined to rust?
With every word I spoke
With every touch I gave
I hope it made it better
This world I helped pave
[Verse 2]
The last time my name leaves a person's lips
This old soul will finally fade away
But the love I've shared will surely persist
Through the hands I've held
The hearts I've embraced
The mark I leave still may not be erased
[Chorus]
Well the earth and sky, they seem to have no end
But this shell I wear will soon return to dust
While I was here, would you have called me "friend"?
Or is everything I built destined to rust?
With every word I spoke
With every touch I gave
I hope it made it better
This world I helped pave
[Chorus]
Well the earth and sky, they seem to have no end
But this shell I wear will soon return to dust
While I was here, would you have called me "friend"?
Or is everything I built destined to rust?
With every word I spoke
With every touch I gave
I hope it made it better
This world I helped pave
