I Was Here

Sometimes I get all caught up in these frustrations
Know my mamma's good raising just disappears
I forget how far and dark and deep a careless word can fly
I hurt the ones I hold so dear
Sometimes between the ruts and the rain and the train wrecks and the paychecks
I get to feeling so damn small
And I forget that when it's all said and done
I wanna be that someone
Who steps up and spray paints on the wall

I was here, I'm alive
I did more than survive
Changed a life, touched a heart
Took a stand, left a mark
Made the most out of all of my years
You won't need to see my name
Carved on a headstone to know
I was here

Between the fancy gyms, the hot wings and the big screens
You'd think that all I'd ever need was at a shopping mall
And I forget the most important things in this life
Hey yeah, just might not be things at all
So I'm going to stop to thank a few of my earthbound angels
For picking me up off the ground
I'm going to stop worrying 'bout a buck or two
And start thinking 'bout what'll fill up all them pews
The day they lay me down

I was here, I'm alive
I did more than survive
Changed a life, touched a heart
Took a stand, left a mark
Made the most out of all of my years
You won't need to see my name
Carved on a headstone to know
I was here

Oh, I was here
I'm alive
I did more than survive
Changed a life, touched a heart
Took a stand, left my mark
I was here
Oh, I was here
