Chenoweth, Kristin - I Was Here Lyrics






You will notice me
I’ll be leaving my mark
Like initials carved in an old oak tree
Just wait and see

Maybe I’ll write like Twain wrote
Maybe I’ll paint like Van Gogh
Cure the common cold, I don’t know
But I’m ready to start cause I know in my heart

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better
With the time I was given
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less than something that says
I was here

I will prove you wrong
If you think I’m all talk, you’re in for a shock
Cause this dream’s too strong
And before too long

Maybe I’ll compose symphonies
Maybe I’ll fight for world peace
Cause I know it’s my destiny
To leave more than a trace of myself in this place

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better
With the time I was given
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less than something that says
I was here

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
(I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear)

I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better
With the time I was given
I know that I will do more than just pass through this life
And leave nothing less than something that says
I was here
I was here
I was here

    had my elementary school choir sing this last year. we were able to perform it three times: first, when our school principal of ten years left; second, to celebrate the centennial of the school; third, on our spring choir concert. it came to be as special a song to them as it is to me.
    it's a song that has been in my heart regarding a colleague, another teacher, who sadly took his life two summers ago. at his memorial there were former students who had since graduated college and begun their lives, but still remembered the impact of that one person. there are so many people in my life i wish i could sing this over.

    Love this song. Saw you sing this live at BYU concert. Awesome. Thank you for sharing!

  7. m.... i....

    She's so ridiculously beautiful and talented...X__X Her VOICE! OMG. And such a beautiful song. I just listened through all her albums, and wow, man. I've got my favorite tracks, but it's all amazing. Kills me to think of the "most popular artists" when people like her exist. Highly rated, yet still underrated. She can do country, showtunes, ballads, standards, opera, pop, anything you could throw at her. Cute, sweet, classy, caring, humble, animal-loving, and just about everything else that'd make for a great role model!

    She COULD play Dolly in a movie...I mean, possibly the best choice...even though she's got a unique, recognizable look of her own. There's enough similarity there.

  8. s.... ....

  9. S.... M....

    SOUL-STIRRING!

    o.o

    B.... C....

    Especially singing "I Didnt".

  23. W.... ....

    Isn't Kristin great! If you can still find them at Target get the exclusive extra tracks (from Target and also found as album extras on itunes) the 2 bonus tracks - "Prayer Of St. Francis" and "Boy" both great tracks. I highly recommend any of her other CDs as well. I saw Kristin's show in Nashville back in June 2012. Loved It! The best vocalist of her or any time. Amazing talent. Such vocal range and strong but sweet voice, LOVE HER. "A Song has no better friend than Kristin Chenoweth!"

  24. K.... W....

    I know this is kinda late in the game, but I am loving every video from this album. It's country but not the traditional twangy style. She still has a lot of her Broadway technics in her voice. I love it. Gonna go out to iTunes or a store and pick it up. I want Kristin to be in the biz for as long as she want to be. Which I hope is well forever. Stumbled on her last winter in a performance of Glitter and Be Gay and have been amazed by her ever since. I love you Kristin Chenoweth. Best of luck.

  25. S.... C....

    Agree totally.....Fabulous singer...fabulou album...

  26. J.... C....

    This woman... OMG... THIS WOMAN!!!!!!! Flawless flawless flawless <3

  27. K.... O....

    I love her makeup in this video!

  28. 4.... ....

    Loved It!!!! I completely feel the same way!!!!!

  29. C.... 1....

    The 4 people who dislike this video have no lives...or just have different taste in music.

  30. s.... ....

    who gives a shit? seriously? y r people so ignorant as to critique appearances of true artists? thats y you're on this side of the lens effing loosers... stop h8ing and get off youtube and stop it !

  31. a.... ....

    Kristin is an amazing artist and woman. I admire her SO much both professionally and as a person, but I really wish she would gain some weight.. She really worries me. No way she's inside a healthy weight. She's competing with the anorexic Olsen and Flockhart hard core..

  32. O.... ....

    I LOVE HER & THIS SONG!!!

  33. W.... ....

    I don't usually extend my comments, but I want to say, Kristin believe me your career will loudly state "I Was Here!" She will "touch (more than) a few hearts" as well!

  34. W.... ....

    A voice of a true angel. One of the most beautiful songs with such a thought profoking message. It is a type of song which inspires people. Kristin's CD is flawless from top to bottom. A very entertaining collection of songs. A type of CD that has a little of everything for the listener. I love these AOL Sessions of Kristin's. It is just like you were front row at a concert. It needs to be on DVD. WOW! Kristin=musical perfection. A Song has no better friend than Kristin Chenoweth! Go Kristin!

  35. s.... ....

    @desperatehwfan1 Her voice is flawless. Just listen to that...

  36. M.... I....

    Love this album and this performance! Her two backup singers were with Kristin in Promises Promises and they were both in WICKED on Broadway understudying both Glinda and Elphaba!!

  37. F.... S....

    Lady Antebellum have done this song too and they have a video for it on here but it's not on any of thier cd's

  38. C.... B....

    I LOVE this song, my new favorite!
