Verse 1
Million-dollar dreams in glass houses glow,
While neighbors’ footsteps echo soft and low.
Chasing tomorrow’s numbers, blind to today,
We barter more than kindness for a hollow pay.
Pre-Chorus
What’s the legacy we’ll leave in our wake?
A ledger of gold, or a choice we can make?
Wealth can fade, but truth remains clear,
Empowerment outlasts the fear.
Chorus
What will we pass to those who breathe after us?
Is riches all we gift, or a human trust?
Money holds its power, then slips to the past,
But wisdom builds a world that lasts.
Verse 2
Futures bought with debt we can’t sustain,
If empathy is sold, what do we regain?
We teach our children to rise with grace,
Not by counting coins, but lifting the place.
Pre-Chorus
What’s the legacy we’ll leave in our wake?
A ledger of gold, or a choice we can make?
Wealth can fade, but truth remains clear,
Empowerment outlasts the fear.
Chorus
What will we pass to those who breathe after us?
Is riches all we gift, or a human trust?
Money holds its power, then slips to the past,
But wisdom builds a world that lasts.
Bridge
Ask the mirror what you’re really conserving,
If love is the blueprint, our futures are evolving.
We can seed resilience, courage, and care,
Teach the blueprint that lifts us from despair.
Chorus
I’ve seen fortunes gild the scars we hide,
The casualties of a chase we misapplied.
Yet in the quiet, a new plan takes hold—
A future of dignity, taught and bold.
Outro
We’ll trade the hoard for hopeful light,
Pass down a map where all can ignite.
From doubt to purpose, we’ll redefine,
Heritage of humanity, for all of time.
