  • I want to leave my footprints on the sand of time
    Know there was something that, 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, soul, everyone will know, I was here

    I wanna say I lived each day, until I died
    You know that I, been 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 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

    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

    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, I lived, I loved, I was here
    I did, I've done
    I was here, I lived, I loved, I was here
    I did, I've done, I was here Writer/s: Diane Eve Warren
