The common man's troubles are oft ignored Cast aside Surpassed Like a homeless person, Thumb outstretched in hopes for a samaritin. Why does he compress his troubles so?...

"Each man had only one genuine vocation--to find the way to himself. He may end up as a poet or madman, as prophet or criminal--that was not his affair... His task was to discover his own destiny--not an arbitrary one--and live it out."

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time<br /> Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind<br /> When I leave this world, I&#039;ll leave no regrets<br /> Leave something to remember, so they won&#039;t forget<br /> <br /> I was here<br /> I lived, I loved<br /> I was here<br /> I did, I&#039;ve done everything that I wanted<br /> And it was more than I thought it would be<br /> I will leave my mark so everyone will know<br /> I was here<br /> <br /> I want to say I lived each day, until I died<br /> And know that I meant something in, somebody&#039;s life<br /> The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave<br /> That I made a difference, and this world will see<br /> <br /> I was here<br /> I lived, I loved<br /> I was here<br /> I did, I&#039;ve done everything that I wanted<br /> And it was more than I thought it would be<br /> I will leave my mark so everyone will know<br /> <br /> I was here<br /> I lived, I loved<br /> I was here<br /> I did, I&#039;ve done everything that I wanted<br /> And it was more than I thought it would be<br /> I will leave my mark so everyone will know<br /> I was here<br /> <br /> I just want them to know<br /> That I gave my all, did my best<br /> Brought someone some happiness<br /> Left this world a little better just because<br /> <br /> I was here
