I WAS HERE

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time

Know there was something there

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 live each day, until I die

And all that I had something in, somebody's life

The hearts I had touched will be the proof that I leave 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 happiness

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

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done

I was here

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done

I was here

Tradução  

EU ESTIVE AQUI

Quero deixar minhas pegadas nas areias do tempo

Saber que havia algo lá

E algo que deixe para trás

Quando eu deixar este mundo, não deixarei arrependimentos

Deixarei algo para ser lembrado, e eles não se esquecerão

Eu estive aqui

Eu vivi, eu amei

Eu estive aqui

Eu fiz, eu tenho feito

Tudo que sempre quis

E foi mais do que eu esperava que fosse

Deixarei minha marca para que todos saibam que

Eu estive aqui

Quero dizer que vivo cada dia, até morrer

Eu sei que representei algo na vida de alguém

Os corações que toquei serão as provas que deixarei

Que eu fiz a diferença, esse mundo verá que

Eu estive aqui

Eu vivi, eu amei

Eu estive aqui

Eu fiz, eu tenho feito

Tudo que sempre quis

E foi mais do que eu esperava que fosse

Deixarei minha marca para que todos saibam que

Eu estive aqui

Eu vivi, eu amei

Eu estive aqui

Eu fiz, eu tenho feito

Tudo que sempre quis

E foi mais do que eu esperava que fosse

Deixarei minha marca para que todos saibam que

Eu estive aqui

Só quero que saibam

Que dei tudo de mim

Fiz meu melhor

Trouxe a alegria de alguém

Deixei este mundo um pouco melhor

Apenas porque

Eu estive aqui

Eu estive aqui

Eu vivi, eu amei

Eu estive aqui

Eu fiz, eu tenho feito

Tudo que sempre quis

E foi mais do que eu esperava que fosse

Deixarei minha marca para que todos saibam que

Eu estive aqui

Eu estive aqui

Eu vivi, eu amei

Eu estive aqui

Eu fiz, eu tenho feito

Eu estive aqui

Eu estive aqui

Eu vivi, eu amei

Eu estive aqui

Eu fiz, eu tenho feito

Eu estive aqu
