Legacy lyrics
Song information
Artist: Carole King Album: City Streets
Lyrics
You used to be as a child Full of hope and wonder Hey, now, do you remember those days Your mind was free and running wild Now the sound of thunder Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out You're running in a rat maze
You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind It's all getting burnt-out, used-up Bought and sold to the bottom line That ain't the way it's gotta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy
Don't it make your heart bleed Passing through the meadowland Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed Rev it up to five grand Shades on, top down But as you barrel down the turnpike
You better think about the legacy That you're gonna leave behind Things are getting wasted out of hand People stealing each other blind Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn around, run away But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy
It isn't easy when you think your voice Doesn't matter to anyone Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice To perpetuate the destruction Why don't you stand up, dig in When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you It's you It's your legacy Baby, whatcha gonna do about it
You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up Sold to the bottom line Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy Oh, your legacy
Look here It's gotta start somewhere, jack If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back Hey, you better get a plan of attack 'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track Of your legacy
