Lyrics
IMMORTAL
Copyright © 1999 Gary Steven Lalin / Gary S. Lalin Music All rights Reserved
What will they say when your long gone
Did you make a difference in the world that we belong
It's not what we take But what we leave behind
We only walk the face of earth for a very short time
No one's immortal, except but through their deeds
Try leave a better world behind
Will you be a passer by or leave your mark in time
Try to be good and be kind.
Reap what you sow. Sow what you reap
In the end there's nothing that you really get to keep
Don't make no difference Once your time is gone
But the legacy we leave will live forever on
No one's immortal, except but through their deeds
Try to leave a better world behind
will you be a passer by or leave your mark in time
try to help your fellow mankind
An Artist leaves their beauty. Mother leaves her child
What is the thing they'll say that you left behind
We each make a difference
Even if it's small
better to have tried and failed
than not to tried at all
No one's immortal, except but through their deeds
Make the world a better place to live
Will you be a passer by or leave your mark in time
It's not what you take but what you give............
