What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?
I Was Here - by Lady Antebellum
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 cuz 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
Cuz this dream’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 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”
Wanna do something that matters
Somethin that says I was here
Wanna do something that matters
Somethin that says I was here, I was here
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 cuz 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
Cuz this dream’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 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”
Wanna do something that matters
Somethin that says I was here
Wanna do something that matters
Somethin that says I was here, I was here
