I Was Here

One of my favorite songs that mirrors my life is by Lady Antebellum. It is called "I Was Here". I have posted the lyrics below. Enjoy!

I WAS HERE

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'm ready start 'cause I know in my heart

I wanna do something that matters, say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better with the time I've been given
I wanna 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
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/lady-antebellum-lyrics/i-was-here-lyrics.html ]
'Cause this dream's too strong and before too long

Maybe I'll compose symphonies
Maybe I'll fight for world peace
'Cause I know it's my destiny
To leave more than a trace of myself in this place!

I wanna do something that matters, say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better with the time I've been given
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothing less than something that says ?I was here?

And I know that I, 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

  1. My Girlfriend and daughter love this song. Great lyrics! It has grown on me too. Not quite to the 'I'll play it in my car while I'm driving by myself' kind of way, but it is inspirational. :-)
