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, 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
