I Was Here

[Verse 1]

You will notice me

I'll be leavin' my mark like initials carved in an old oak tree

You wait and see

Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote

Maybe I'll paint like Van Gogh

Cure the common cold

I don't know, but I'm ready start 'cause I know in my heart

[Chorus]

I wanna do something that matters

Say something different

Something that sets the whole world on its ear

I wanna do something better

With the time I've been given

And I wanna try

To touch a few hearts in this life

Leave nothing less

Than something that says, "I was here"

[Verse 2]

I will prove you wrong

If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock

'Cause this dream's too strong

And before too long

Maybe I'll compose symphonies

Maybe I'll fight for world peace

'Cause I know it's my destiny

To leave more than a trace of myself in this place

[Chorus]

I wanna do something that matters

Say something different

Something that sets the whole world on its ear

I wanna do something better

With the time I've been given

And I wanna try

To touch a few hearts in this life

Leave nothing less

Than something that says, "I was here"

[Interlude]

And I know that I, I will do more than just pass through this life

I'll leave nothing less than something that says, "I was here"

[Outro]

I was here (I was here)

I was here

(Wanna do something that matters)

(Something that says, "I was here")

(Wanna do something that matters)

(Something that says, "I was here")

I was here
