"I was here. I lived. I loved. ... I want to leave my mark so everyone knows I was here."

That simple message is part of Beyonce's I Was Here video, released for World Humanitarian Day on Sunday.

The singer hopes to reach 1 billion people on one day -- Sunday -- with one message of hope as part of her efforts to launch a global campaign to celebrate humanitarian work and encourage people worldwide to help others in some way.

Beyoncé filmed the song in front of a live audience at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York earlier this month.
