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.
