About Things That Matter Lyrics - Music Through Heartsongs - Billy Gilman

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 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 

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 everyday life 

Through the celebration of children and heart songs, 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
