Lyrics: About Things That Matter
Album: Music Through Heartsongs
Artist: Billy Gilman
 

It matters that the world 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 in hard times
If we take the time to listen

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 value of all things created
Must be measures by character and commitment
Rathe than by might and by wealth

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 heed the lessons of everday 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 eternal mindset
To become a peacemaker for all
By Sharing the things that really matter.
