I Was Here Lyrics

I wanna 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
To know that I mean 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 was here

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone happiness
Left this world a little better just because

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done
I was here
