Keith Urban - I Was Here lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 was ready start because I know in my heart [Chorus] I want to do something that matters Say something different Something that sets the whole world on its ear I want to do something better With the time I've been given And I want to try To touch a few hearts in this life Leave nothing less Than something that says "I was here" [Verse 2] I will prove you wrong If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock Because this dream's too strong And before too long Maybe I'll compose symphonies Maybe I'll fight for world peace Because I know it's my destiny To leave more than a trace of myself in this place [Chorus] I want to do something that matters Say something different Something that sets the whole world on its ear I want to do something better With the time I've been given And I want to try To touch a few hearts in this life Leave nothing less Than something that says "I was here" [Interlude] And I know that I will do more than just pa** through this life I'll leave nothing less than something that says "I was here" [Outro] "I was here" (I was here) "I was here" (want to do something that matters) (Something that says I was here) "want to do something that matters" (Something that says I was here) "I was here"
