About Things That Matter Testo

(It matters that the world knows...)



We must celebrate the gift of life

Every day in some way

We must always remember
to play after every storm

All children are truly blessed

With 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 not-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 value of all things created

must be measured by character

and commitment

Rather than by might or by wealth...



(Chorus)

It matters

It matters

Oh, it matters

that the world knows



We must heed the lessons

of everyday life

Through the celebrations

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 eternal mindset

to become a peacemaker for all

by sharing the things

that really matter)
