Legacy of Sam Cooke

(Verse 1)

In the heart of the South, where dreams take flight,

A boy named Sam found his voice one night.

With a gospel soul and a rhythm so sweet,

He sang of love, of hope, and the streets.

(Pre-Chorus)

From the church pews to the city lights,

Sam’s melody took its heights.

With every note, he made us feel,

The power of music, the strength so real.

(Chorus)

Oh, Sam Cooke, your voice still rings,

Through the ages, your spirit sings.

A change did come, and you paved the way,

For the sound of freedom, we hear today.

(Verse 2)

"Bring It on Home," you’d softly croon,

"Wonderful World" beneath the moon.

Your message clear, your soul so pure,

Each word a gift, each note a cure.

(Pre-Chorus)

You sang for justice, you sang for peace,

Your legacy, it will never cease.

In every heart, your songs reside,

Guiding us through life’s rough tide.

(Chorus)

Oh, Sam Cooke, your voice still rings,

Through the ages, your spirit sings.

A change did come, and you paved the way,

For the sound of freedom, we hear today.

(Bridge)

Gone too soon, but your light remains,

In every chord, in every refrain.

A pioneer with a dream so wide,

Your music’s a beacon, your truth, our guide.

(Chorus)

Oh, Sam Cooke, your voice still rings,

Through the ages, your spirit sings.

A change did come, and you paved the way,

For the sound of freedom, we hear today.

(Outro)

Sam Cooke, your legend grows,

In every heart, your legacy shows.

Forever remembered, forever adored,

Your timeless songs will strike a chord.
