I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell if I left my mark
But I'll know full well I did my part

When I look down that road, what do I see?
My children's children looking right back at me
When they look back at me and I'm long gone away
Will they think kindly of me when they hear me say?

I did my part, I tried my best
I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell if I left my mark
But I'll know full well I did my part

When I look down this hall, what do I see?
A little baby crawling right back to me
I cannot walk for him, I cannot run
But I can hold his hand and show him how it's done

I'll do my part, I'll try my best
I'll give my heart, I'll take no rest
Time will tell if I left my mark
But I'll know full well I did my part

Build a family, build a city
Build a country, build a world

Time will tell if I left my mark
But I know full well I did my part
But I know full that I did my part

I gave my heart, I took no rest
Time will tell if I left my mark
