This is a kind of stone-in-my-shoe thought that causes you to frequently evaluate the impact of your existence …
I was Here (Written by Diane Warren; Performed by Beyonce Knowles-Carter)
I want to 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
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 want to say I lived each day, until I died
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
I was here
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
Indelibly,
me
