About Things That Matter Lyrics

The song About Things That Matter is performed by Billy Gilman in the album named Music Through Heartsongs: Songs Based on the Poems of Mattie J.T. Stepanek in the year 2003 .

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 compa*sion
To guide the wisdom of the grown-ups

We all have a song in our heart
That inspires us in good times, 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 measured by character and commitment
Rather than by might and by wealth

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

We must heed the lessons of every day life
Through the celebration of children
And heart, songs, senses and words
Or we could lose in our journey to the future

It matters, 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
