THE LOVE I LEAVE BEHIND

Allan Caswell & Drew McAlister

The worth of the man isn’t measured in minutes, it’s a journey that’s measured in years
And it doesn’t matter where you begin, as long as it brings you here
You learn more from getting it wrong than you ever do getting it right
And you tell your life story with the love you leave behind,
Before my time comes I’m gonna leave some sign that I was here
Won’t be what I own, a fancy home, a car, or my career
If I’ve lived and loved too hard and made good use of my time
I’ll make the world a better place with the love I leave behind.

The worth of a man isn’t measured in things, it’s secret and silent and strong
It’s in the pride you take in your name and the children who carry it on
You can live on this planet for eighty-odd years but it’s only a moment in time
And you tell your life story with the love you leave behind,
Before my time comes I’m gonna leave some sign that I was here
Won’t be what I own, a fancy home, a car, or my career
If I’ve lived and loved too hard and made good use of my time
I’ll make the world a better place with the love I leave behind.

Before my time comes I’m gonna leave some sign that I was here
Won’t be what I own, a fancy home, a car, or my career
If I’ve lived and loved too hard and made good use of my time
I’ll make the world a better place, I’ll make this world a better place
With the love I leave behind.
