When I’m gone Will I fade away?” He stayed late Stacked the folding chairs Drove you home when your car broke down Never thought the small things mattered Just a quiet man in a crowded town [Chorus] But we’re standing here Telling all your stories Your name on our lips Laughter in our eyes You were the hand that held The voice that steadied You lit your mark across our lives You wondered if you’d leave a trace Ryan We’re the answer We’re your lasting legacy [Verse 2] You missed promotions Made the ballerina plays Hooted so loud you lost your voice You said “I’m nothing special Really Just a guy who makes a choice” To show up when the days were heavy To sit still when a friend broke down You never saw the way that kindness Echoed out through this whole town [Chorus] Now we’re standing here Telling all your stories Name on our lips Laughter in our eyes You were the hand that held The voice that steadied You lit your mark across our lives You wondered if you’d leave a trace Ryan Hear us answer We’re your lasting legacy [Bridge] Not in marble Not in pages But in every heart You rearranged (oh yeah) [Chorus] So we’re standing here Telling all your stories Name on our lips A soft “thank you” You were the hand that held The voice that steadied And every road leads back to you You asked if you were measuring up Ryan All together We are your legacy
