I Was Here

Lyricist:     Composer:

You will notice me
I'll be leaving 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 was ready start because I know in my heart

I want to do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I want to do something better
With the time I've been given
And I want to try
To touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less
Than something that says "I was here"

I will prove you wrong
If you think I'm all talk you're in for a shock
Because this dream's too strong
And before too long
Maybe I'll compose symphonies
Maybe I'll fight for world peace
Because I know it's my destiny
To leave more than a trace of myself in this place

I want to do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I want to do something better
With the time I've been given
And I want to try
To touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less
Than something that says "I was here"

And I know that I will do more than just pass through this life
I'll leave nothing less than something that says "I was here"

"I was here"
(I was here)
"I was here"
(want to do something that matters)
(Something that says I was here)
"want to do something that matters"
(Something that says I was here)
"I was here"
