Songtexte So Glad - The Emsee

One day I'll pass away, and I'm just glad I got the chance to say
I'm so glad
Glad I got to make this music and give you my point of views through it
I'm so glad
When I'm no longer here, you can put this music in your ear
And I'm back, so for that (yeah)
I'm glad (uh, one), yeah
I'm so glad

Everybody wants a legacy, whether it's large or small
Even the caveman carved the wall
When you finally pass, you can only hope your past
Made such an impact it lasts
That's what we're aiming for and that's why we take these photographs
Capturing laughs in the moments that we've had
So when we sit back we can sit and reminisce like
Look at this pic, do you remember this?

History was yesterday but some are so hooked
On trying to get a page in that book
They're searching for the lettuce 'cause they're trying to get ahead
But you can't make the sandwich unless you have the bread
Excuse the corny line, time is never beside you
It creeps in the shadows behind you
Try to make the most of it, but when it's your time to
Leave, it will surly remind you

One day I'll pass away, and I'm just glad I got the chance to say
I'm so glad
Glad I got to make this music and give you my point of views through it
I'm so glad
When I'm no longer here, you can put this music in your ear
And I'm back, so for that
I'm glad, yeah
I'm so glad

Everybody wants a legacy, whether it's small or large
Just remember that you're in charge
Every person that you meet and greet
Will ultimately be the ones painting that picture of you when you are deceased
I chose to tell my story on beats
And found inner peace after every album release
Smiling in a photograph never took my pain away
But I'm happy making songs about a rainy day

Time is never promised, I never met my grandfathers
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't bothered
They passed away before I had a chance to meet them
So now a photograph's the only way I get to see 'em
A picture's worth a thousand words
But there's still this frustration, we can never have a conversation
So as the clock ticks those memories fade
But I can live forever when my record plays, I'm so glad

One day I'll pass away, and I'm just glad I got the chance to say
I'm so glad
Glad I got to make this music and give you my point of views through it
I'm so glad
When I'm no longer here, you can put this music in your ear
And I'm back, so for that
I'm glad, yeah
I'm so glad
