I Was Here Lyrics - Beyoncé

1 I want to leave my footprints on the sands of time;

2 Know there was something that meant something that I left behind...

3 When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets,

4 Leave something to remember, so they won't forget...

5 I was here;

6 I lived, I loved - I was here...

7 I did... I've done everything that I wanted, and it was more than I thought it would be;

8 I will leave my mark so everyone will know - I was here....

9 I want to say I lived each day until I die,

10 And know that I meant something in somebody's life...

11 The hearts that I touched will be the proof that I leave

12 That I made a difference, and this world will see...

13 I was here;

14 I lived, I loved - I was here...

15 I did... I've done everything that I wanted, and it was more than I thought it would be;

16 I will leave my mark so everyone will know...

17 I was here;

18 I lived, I loved - I was here...

19 I did... I've done everything that I wanted, and it was more than I thought it would be;

20 I will leave my mark so everyone will know - I was here....

21 I just want them to know that I gave my all, did my best, brought someone some happiness,

22 Left this world a little better, just because I was here...

23 I was here;

24 I lived, I loved - I was here...

25 I did... I've done everything that I wanted, and it was more than I thought it would be;

26 I want to leave my mark so everyone will know...

27 I was here;

28 (I lived,) I lived... (I loved...)

29 I was here...

30 (I did,) I did! (I've done...)

31 I was here!

32 (I lived,) I lived... (I loved) I loved!

33 I was here... (Oh, ooh, ooh...)

34 I did, I've done...

35 I was here.
