[Intro]
C F Am G x2
[Verse 1]
F
You will notice me
G Am
I'll be leaving my mark
G F
Like initials carved in an old oak tree
G
Just wait and see
[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I'll write like Twain wrote
F
Maybe I'll paint like Van Gogh
D7
Cure the common cold, I don't know
F
But I'm ready to start 'cause I know in my heart
[Chorus]
C F
I wanna do something that matters
C
Say something different
F G Am
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
G F
I wanna do something better
Dm
With the time I was given
C F C
I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
F G
Leave nothing less than something that says
C
I was here
[Instrumental]

I will prove you wrong
C Am G
If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock

Cause this dream's too strong

And before too long
[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe I'll compose symphonies
F
Maybe I'll fight for world peace

To leave more than a trace of myself in this place
