SONG OF THE WEEK

I WAS HERE "I Was Here" is a song recorded by American R&B recording artist Beyoncé Knowles Carter from her fourth studio album, 4 (2011). It was written by Diane Warren, while production was handled by Ryan Tedder, Brent Kutzle, and Kuk Harrell; Knowles is credited on the vocal production. "I Was Here" is a reflective ballad, in which Knowles vulnerably reviews her past, wanting to leave an impact on the world before her life comes to an end. The song's development was motivated by the September 11 attacks in the United States.

I choose this song as song of the week' because of the lyrics...we all need to help someone,touch some one....save someone and leave a mark.



I WAS HERE - lyrics

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
know there was something that, and 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 will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I die
and know that I meant something in, somebody's life
the hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I live
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 hapiness
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 x2
