Verse 1
Life is a vapor; as it passes by
We love and we cherish, we laugh and we cry
We set aside money, a house and some land
Two centuries later, how much will stand?
Chorus
Will we leave behind children who carry the flame?
Who train generations to follow His name?
When He summons us home and we step out of time
What will we leave behind?
Verse 2
A tomb and a gravestone – two dates and a name
Some pictures and letters to prove that we came
Is that all our grandchildren’s children will see?
Is that what we leave them as our legacy?
Repeat chorus
Tag
For where we invest our treasure and time
That’s where our heart is
And that’s what we leave behind
