Lady Antebellum - I Was Here Lyrics

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 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 somethin better,
With the time I've been given
And I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothin 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
Cuz this stream's 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 than 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 somethin better,
With the time I've been given
And I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
And leave nothin 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 nothin less
Than something that says I was here
I was here, I was here, I was here

Wanna do somethin that matters
Somethin that says I was here
Wanna do somethin that matters
Somethin that says I was here, I was here
