Regine Velasquez - Leader Of The Band Lyrics
An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
I never can repay
A quiet man of music
Denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
But his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
A thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
Took me years to understand.
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.
My brothers' lives were different
For they heard another call
One went to Chicago
And the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
When I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chose
And come to know so well.
I thank you for the music
And your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
And the times when you got tough
And, papa, I don't think I
Said 'I love you' near enough
The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band
I am the living legacy
To the leader of the band.

sobra talagang nakakaiyak ang kantang ito................kahit hindi kami mag kasundo ng papa ko..mahal ko parin sya............................i love you,,,:)
my biological father was a bastard, but he used to sing me this song when i was small. i used to carry this record around like other kids carried teddy bears or blankies. Nice cover

i'm just a living legacy of the leader of the band. When my mom called about my papa's condition . the song suddenly resonated to my ears. i wanna go home and see how he's doing. :(
seeing Regine sings this song for her Papa on her "silver" concert can really melts ones heart....
