I Was Here

Sometimes I get all caught up in these frustration

no my mamma's good raising just disappears

I forget how far and deep a careless word can fly

I hurt the ones I hold so dear

Sometimes between the ruts and the rain

the trainwrecks 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

I forget the most important things in this life

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 bought 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
