I've watched the world chase titles, chase the light,
A digital scream that says: "I must be known and bright!"
But fame's a fragile whisper, hollow and so wide,
I'm content to walk unseen, with nowhere left to hide.
I need no validation from the passing crowd,
No space on billboards, no ovation long and loud.

I don't need existence, I don't need a name,
No history book, no victory flame.
I only need to be known by you, my small design,
My future children, you are the final lifeline.
The only prayer I need to echo when I'm gone,
Is the quiet love you hold, carrying my memory on.

Your gaze is the only audience I seek to meet,
The single circle where my purpose feels complete.
My legacy is whispered in the values I can show,
Not in the worldly things that quickly come and go.
When my time on earth is done, and shadows take their hold,
You hold the tender story that will keep my memory gold.

I don't need existence, I don't need a name,
No history book, no victory flame.
I only need to be known by you, my small design,
My future children, you are the final lifeline.
The only prayer I need to echo when I'm gone,
Is the quiet love you hold, carrying my memory on.

I won't be a legend, just a remembered mother's trace,
Your heart, my final home, my one eternal space.

The only echo when I'm gone... The quiet love you hold, carrying my memory on.
