Since we did our presentations about women in history, i recently heard a song that made me think of what we were doing in class. Its a new song by a country singer name Hilary Scott. I thought i would post the lyrics and the name of the song in case anyone wanted to listen to it.
“I was Here” By Hillary Scott
“You will notice me, ill be leaving my mark like initials carved in an old oak tree, you wait and see. Maybe ill write like Twango, maybe ill paint like Van gogh, cure the common cold, i dont know, but im 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’ve been given, i wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life, and 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 ill compose symphanies, maybe ill fight for world peace, b/c i know its my destiny to leave more than just 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’ve been given, i wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life, and leave nothing less than something that says i was here.
And i know that i, i will do more than just pass through this life, i’ll leave nothing less than something that says I was here. I was here.”
So basically, what Hillary Scott is trying to say is that she’s not going to just go through life not accomplishing anything, she’s going to do something with her life and make a difference, and this song reminds me of all of the women we did our presentations on because they all made a difference in this world, they all did something that made us remember them.
