Crafting a Lasting Legacy: Unveiling Life's Complex Colors
Lyrics
When was young they told me ""oh boy""
Reflecting on advice received when young about growing up and becoming a good man.
You need grow up and try to be a good man""
Encouragement to mature and strive for virtuous manhood.
Always think about this pictures in my head
Contemplating mental images that have stayed with the individual.
A good legacy may contain few words
Recognition that a meaningful legacy doesn't necessarily require many words.
When I grew up I realized
Realization of the complexities and nuances in the world as one grows older.
The colors of the world are more complicated
Acknowledging the intricate and diverse aspects of life.
So even trying to be a good man
Expressing the difficulty in becoming a good man contrary to simplistic advice.
Its not as simple as they say
Highlighting the complexity of the journey to become a virtuous individual.
But in my search I had someone to look
Finding inspiration in someone during the quest for goodness.
The blood in my vein always flowed with love
Emphasizing the presence of love in the speaker's upbringing.
So, there comes a day when you understand
Understanding the responsibility to progress in life.
To move forward, now it's your job, man !
Acknowledging that moving forward is now the individual's responsibility.
And there is nowhere to run, oh boy
Facing the reality that there is no escape from one's duties.
You got paint a Universe , not only yours
Encouragement to contribute to the broader world, beyond personal interests.
When you see it's in your hands
Awareness of the power to shape the universe, emphasizing responsibility.
Being a good man is not more about you
Understanding that being a good person extends beyond self-interest.
So just be who you have to be
Advice to simply be the person one is meant to be.
The legacy you received must carry on
Stressing the importance of carrying forward the received legacy.
Now that you are the man you should be
Emphasizing the idea of becoming the person one is meant to be.
Just give your love
Encouragement to share and express love.
Don't forget who you are
A reminder not to forget one's true self while navigating life.
