About Things That Matter - 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.
