[Verse 1 rap sang ]
I left my home with a sword in my hand,
Chased the unknown to a far-off land.
Walked through the storm,
walked through the rain,
Lost good men, but I walked again.
I carried their names through the frost and snow,
Some became legends, some never came home.
I learned to fight, I learned to pray,
But every road takes something away.
[Pre-Chorus]
So raise your cup,
Let the old songs play,
We don't know what waits
At the end of the day.
So raise your cup,
Let the old songs play,
We don't know what waits....
At the end of the day.
[Chorus — big, catchy]
What will my story say?
If tomorrow stays away
Did I live? Did I love?
Was i happy, Did I do enough
If tomorrow stays away,
Then will my name remain?
When my last light fades..
Will they remember my name?
Post chores :
Oh-oh, - remember
Oh-oh - What will my story say?
If tomorrow stays away,
[Verse 2 - rap sang ]
There was a boy with a fire in his eyes,
Dreaming of glory beneath open skies.
He thought being strong meant never to fall,
Never to bend, never fear it at all.
But years made a man from the boy I knew,
Taught me some battles are battles you lose.
Words left unsaid can cut deeper than steel,
And the wounds no one sees can be hardest to heal.
[Pre-Chorus]
So raise your cup,
Let the old songs play,
For the roads we've walked
And the debts we've paid.
[Chorus — bigger]
What will my story say?
If tomorrow stays away
Did I live? Did I love?
Was i happy, Did I do enough
If tomorrow stays away,
Then will my name remain?
When my last light fades..
Will they remember my name....
[Bridge — chant / rising]
I have walked!
I have fought!
I have lost!
I have loved!
Through the cold!
Through the rain!
Through the loss!
Through the pain!
[Final Chorus — epic / full voices]
What will my story say?
If tomorrow stays away
Did I live? Did I love?
Was i happy, Did I do enough
If tomorrow stays away,
will my name remain?
When my last light fades..
Will they remember..
my name?
(My name)
Will they remember...
What will my story say?
(What will it say)
If tomorrow stays.....
Away...
