"I Was Here"

I want to leave my footprints on the sands of time

Know there was something that, something that I left behind

When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets

Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here

I wanna say I lived each day, until I died

I know that I had something in somebody's life

The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave

That I made a difference and this world will see

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here

I just want them to know

That I gave my all, did my best

Brought someone some happiness

Left this world a little better just because

I was here

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done

I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here

I did, I've done

I was here
