I Was Here
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You will notice me
I'll believe in 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 Gough,
cure the common cold
i don't know but I'm ready to start cuz i know in my heart
I wanna do something that matters
say something different
something that sets the whole world on it's 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
and leave nothin less that something that says i was here
I will prove you wrong
if you think im all talk, your in for a shock
cuz this streams too strong, and before too long
maybe i'll compose symphonies
maybe i'll fight for world peace
cuz i know it's my destiny to leave more that a trace of myself in this
place
I wanna do something that matters
say something different
something that sets the whole world on it's 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
and leave nothin less that something that says i was here
And i know that i, i will do more than just pass through this life
i'll leave nothin less that something that says i was here, 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
somethin that says i was here, i was here
