(HOOK) (Start with a solo violin or "fiddle" melody and a steady boots-on-wood stomp) I got a treasure that don’t rust or fade Bought by a debt that I never could’ve paid It’s an old-time faith and it’s a new-day strength It’s the width and the height and the breadth and the length! (VERSE 1) My grandmamma’s bible has coffee on the page A lifetime of wisdom and a little bit of age She left me a map and she left me a light To find my way home in the middle of the night It ain’t about silver, it ain’t about land It’s the peace that comes from the Master’s hand A lineage of mercy, a family tree Rooted in the Blood that was shed for me. (PRE-CHORUS) (Banjo and acoustic guitar join in, building a "driving" rhythm) From the mountain high to the valley floor I’m walking the path that they walked before It’s a narrow road, but the view is sweet I can feel the promise underneath my feet. (CHORUS) (Full folk-pop anthem sound) Oh, I’m claiming my inheritance today! In the Old Rugged Cross, I’ve found my way It’s a legacy of love, it’s a spirit of fire Lifting my soul a little bit higher I’m a daughter of the Promise, a child of the King Hear the generations start to sing: (Background voices: Hallelujah, Hallelujah) Yeah, that’s my inheritance! (VERSE 2) The world tries to sell me a temporary crown But I’m building on a Rock that they can’t tear down I’m sowing in tears so I can reap in the joy A hope that the darkness can never destroy Every prayer ever whispered by my kin Is a wind at my back letting the light in. (BRIDGE) (Music slows down, very "rootsy" and raw) It was good for my mother (It’s good enough for me) It was good for my father (It’s good enough for me) It’s the faith of the ages (It’s good enough for me) And it’s setting me free! (Build up) Yeah, it’s setting me free! (CHORUS) Oh, I’m claiming my inheritance today! In the Old Rugged Cross, I’ve found my way It’s a legacy of love, it’s a spirit of fire Lifting my soul a little bit higher I’m a daughter of the Promise, a child of the King Hear the generations start to sing: Yeah, that’s my inheritance! (OUTRO) (Acoustic guitar fades out slowly) Passed down to me. Wild and free. Thank You for the legacy. (Final fiddle note)
