I Was Here

I found a song by Lady Antebellum the other day called "I Was Here" that has been 100% inspiring to me. 
This is me, my whole life. I couldn't have said it better. I hope you enjoy the lyrics...

You will notice me 
I'll believe in 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 Gough, 
cure the common cold 
I don't know but I'm ready to start cuz I know in my heart 

I wanna do something that matters 
say something different 
something that sets the whole world on it's ear 
I wanna do something better, with the time I've been given 
and I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life 
and leave nothin less that something that says I was here 

I will prove you wrong 
if you think I'm all talk, your in for a shock 
cuz this dream's too strong, and before too long 
maybe I'll compose symphonies 
maybe I'll fight for world peace 
cuz I know it's my destiny 
to leave more that a trace of myself in this place 

I wanna do something that matters 
say something different 
something that sets the whole world on it's ear 
I wanna do something better, with the time I've been given 
and I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life 
and leave nothin less that something that says I was here 

and I know that I, I will do more than just pass through this life 
I'll leave nothing less that something that says 
I was here, I was here, I was here, I was here 

wanna do something that matters 
something that says I was here 
wanna do something that matters 
something that says I was here, I was here

I love those lyrics! I've gotta listen to this group! As far as I'm concerned you started leaving your mark a long time ago...I don't know that it's possible for anyone not to be affected by who you are Roxy! I miss you!
