Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
What will they say when I'm Gone, in words
That are written in stone?
Under my name, what will they claim
About me?
Oh, I want to leave a legacy to be remembered
More than just a memory that fades away
Because we only, we only get one life
Free me, my hands are tied
I'm so tired of wasting time
These endless inventions steal my
Attention from real life
And when it's done, when it's over...
And will the world see Christ when they
Look at my life?
Oh, will they world see?
MMM, come on, give me, give me, give me real life
And no more, no more, no more wasting time
Because we only, we only get one life
