I Was Here

Lyrics

[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
