Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna leave my footprint on the sands of time
Know there was somethin' that meant somethin' that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave somethin' to remember, so they won't forget
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I wanna say I lived each day until I die
And know that I meant somethin' 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
I was here (I lived), I lived (I loved)
I was here (I did), I did (I've done)
I was here (I lived), I lived, (I loved), I loved
I was here, I did, I've done, I was here
