Sometimes I get all caught up in these frustrations,
And all my mama?s good raising, just disappears,
I forget how far and dark and deep a careless word can fly
I hurt the ones I hold so dear,
Sometimes between the ruts and the rain and the train wrecks and the pay cheques,
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,
Look 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 head stone to know I was here
Between the fancy jeans the hot wings and the big screens,
You?d think that all I?d ever need was at a shopping mall
But I forget the most important things in this life,
Hey yeah, Just might not be things at all,
So I'm gunna stop to thank a few of my earth bound angels
For picking me up off the ground,
I'm gunna stop worrying bout a buck or two
And start thinkin 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,
Look 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 head stone to know I was here
Nahnahnana Nahnahnana Nahnahnana
Ooohhh I was here, I'm alive, I did more than survive
Changed a life, Touched a heart,
Look 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 head stone to know I was here
