“It says, ‘I want to leave my footprints in the sands of time’ and it basically is all of our dreams, I think. And that’s leaving our mark on the world. I feel like we all want to know that our life meant something,” said Beyoncé. ” It’s a message she hopes will resonate and inspire acts of kindness around the world.”
