[Verse 1]
I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget
[Chorus]
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 2]
I wanna say I lived each day until I die
And know that I meant something 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
[Chorus]
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
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
I was here
[Outro]
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I lived (I lived), I loved
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
I was here
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I did (I did), I've done
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
I was here
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
I was here (Oh)
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na)
I did, I've done
(Na-na-na-na, na-na-na)
I was here
