About Things That Matter

It matters that the workd knows

We must celebrate the gift of life

Everyday in some way

we must always remember to play after every storm

All children are truly blessed

With the innocent gifts of gentleness, trust, and compassion

To guide the wisdom of the grown-ups

We all have a song in our heart

that inspires us in good times

and hard times

If we take the time to listen

[Chorus:]

It matters, it matters, oh, it matters that the world knows

Our senses help discover the hidden and non-hidden

Enchantment in life, if we use them

We must carefully choose our words and wants

Or we could forever hurt others

with these dangerous weapons

Strength and calue of all things created

Must be measured by character and commitment

Rather than by might

and by wealth

[Repeat Chorus]

We must head the lessons of everyday life

Through the celebration of children and heartsongs,

senses and words

Or we could lose in our journey

to the future

It matters

A person by my name and being existed

With a strong spirit and an eternam mindset

To become a peacemaker for all

By sharing the things that really matter.
