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
