I Was Here
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 was here...
I want to say I lived each day until I died
And know that I had 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 to 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 will 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...
