LADY ANTEBELLUM LYRICS - I Was Here

"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

And 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

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

And I wanna try

To touch a few hearts in this life

Leave nothing less

Than something that says "I was here"



And I know that 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"

(I was here)

"I was here"

(wanna do something that matters)

(Something that says I was here)

"wanna do something that matters"

(Something that says I was here)

"I was here"
