Song Lyrics ~ A Legacy of Light ~ Love Through the Ages
(Verse 1)
Across the centuries, their voices rise,
Saint Francis whispers beneath starry skies.
Pope Francis walks through crowded streets,
Where humanity’s gaze and compassion meet.
Simplicity calls, a quiet refrain,
Let go of the burdens, break the chain.
Freedom is found in what we release,
A life lived humbly, a life of peace.
(Chorus)
What will we let go, what love will we find?
What light will we carry through space and time?
Their call resounds, both gentle and strong,
A legacy written in faith and song.
(Verse 2)
Saint Francis kneels with bread in his hand,
The beggar’s gaze, a divine command.
Pope Francis bends where hardship stays,
His embrace a promise that love outweighs.
Through whispers of streets and skies that glow,
Their gestures teach us all we must know.
In the worn and weary, divinity lives,
What grace will we offer, what life will we give?
(Chorus)
What will we let go, what love will we find?
What light will we carry through space and time?
Their call resounds, both gentle and strong,
A legacy written in faith and song.
(Bridge)
The Earth it cries, the oceans rise,
A plea for mercy beneath the skies.
Saint Francis saw creation’s face,
Pope Francis calls for its saving grace.
Hand in hand, the poor and the land,
Together they whisper, “Will you make a stand?”
The cries of the Earth, the cries of the poor,
Knocking, waiting at humanity’s door.
(Verse 3)
Faith is a fire that burns in the soul,
A call to courage, to heal and make whole.
Barefoot Francis, through icy streets,
Where fear fades and love completes.
Pope Francis speaks where divisions are wide,
For justice, for hope, to turn the tide.
Together they ask, “What risk will you take?
What action will rise, what hearts will awake?”
(Chorus)
What will we let go, what love will we find?
What light will we carry through space and time?
Their call resounds, both gentle and strong,
A legacy written in faith and song.
(Outro)
Through joy that endures, through trials that break,
Through storms of despair, new light will awake.
Saint Francis sings, Pope Francis smiles,
Their courage transcends the weight of miles.
A call across time, their truth shines bright,
A path of love in the darkest night.
Will we answer, will we embrace?
A life of compassion, a world of grace.
