Lyrics:

I want the ones that I love
To say that I’ve done right by them
& I hope the footprints that I leave behind
Stood for something that was good & right

I wanna stand the test of time
How will I be remembered when I die?

I wanna make sure all my words
Meant something to someone
And be sorry for the ones that hurt
We all say things & we don’t know why

How will I be remembered when I die?
I wanna stand the test of time

Tell me, will I be able to?
Tell me, will I be able to?

I may not ever change the world
Like McCartney or Ghandi
But after all, I’m just one girl
& I have the means to be a hero to somebody
& that’s enough for me

I wanna know that I enjoyed
All the little things we take for granted sometimes
That I laughed, that I cried
& if I didn’t live up to you, just know I tried

I wanna stand the test of time

So tell me, will I be able to?
Tell me, will I be able to?

(instrumental)

& if I’m only the half the person that my father is
& a quarter of the warrior that is my mother
I’m gonna be just fine
& I don’t know where I am going
I’m still figuring out
But I know that I’m here today
I’m gonna try & make it count
This time around
Get it right
I wanna stand the test of time

Tell me, will I be able to?
Tell me, will I be able to?
Tell me, will I be able to?

Heard this for the first time on your show today I played it for my mother who is I'll and she came to tears and held me close. She says the song touched her. She is a fan of yours as well. She keeps asking me to get her a cd of the girl with that beautiful voice. Lol I tell her there are only videos as of now. Wanna Thank you for a great performance tonight again

[devensharma]

You just made a special place in my heart... and you will be always remembered by me...You inspired so many people out there...and I love you for this.

[saahtagliaferro]

that's the kind of music I wanna hear on the radio!!! I feel the same as you... is a pretty good song! And I don't need to talk about your voice... it's amazing *-*

[yigthekid]

You will be able to.
Your words mean something to ME.
You DO change the world, and have BEEN changing the world. Just as much as McCartney or Ghandi.
You're a hero to me.
You did live it up to me.
You are standing the test of time.

Even though I don't know you personally, I feel as if you've changed my life. Even if only slightly. That little bit is HUGE because this is a human being we're talking about, and the WORLD. I respect so much what you do and I love your music. This song also really hit me because this is exactly how I feel myself. I want to leave an impact on this world. Take advantage of life. And do something that's important to people. I might try to cover this on my YouTube channel sometime in the future because I really love this song and the lyrics. Keep doing what you do. Even if it were just for a few people, or just for me, who love and appreciate it. But now you've got over 50, 000 people with lives that you've changed.

[mahoganygaspipe]

Your best work to date, it goes to show your diversity in writing and yet again, you have reduced a 36yo man to tears.. You have no idea how good you are! none!

[jalahjones]

[Vkbceo]

That's very beautiful song great job

[superhunk]

This is a soothingly beautiful song. 
Your voice is absolutely magical.

[KataniRose]

This song honestly reflects how I feel at this point of my life. I'm so scared that I won't stand, that I can't live up to whatever expectation on life I make for myself, no matter how crazy. This song, simply by resounding my innermost thoughts, gave me a small sense of peace. This isn't a plea for advice of any sort, though it's welcome. This is merely my humble but sincere thanks for making your music. The best songs you've sang have been your own. So thank you.

[MagicalMintSorbet]

This was so good. Added to my favorites!
