[00:00.49]It matters that the world knows
[00:03.32]
[00:09.30]We must celebrate the gift of life
[00:11.70]Every day in some way
[00:13.76]We must always remember to play after every storm
[00:19.99]
[00:22.48]All children are truly blessed
[00:24.61]With the innocent gifts
[00:25.77]of gentleness, trust, and compassion
[00:29.44]To guide the wisdom of the grown-ups
[00:32.85]We all have a song in our heart
[00:37.30]that inspires us in good times and hard times
[00:41.24]If we take the time to listen
[00:45.94]It matters, it matters,
[00:54.52]Oh, it matters that the world knows
[01:03.39]
[01:03.82]Our senses help discover the hidden and non-hidden
[01:08.07]Enchantment in life, if we use them
[01:13.19]
[01:16.51]We must carefully choose our words and wants
[01:19.72]Or we could forever hurt others
[01:23.96]with these dangerous weapons
[01:27.56]Strength and value of all things created
[01:31.80]Must be measured by character and commitment
[01:36.49]Rather than by might and by wealth
[01:40.45]It matters, it matters,
[01:48.86]Oh, it matters that the world knows
[01:57.18]
[01:58.38]We must heed the lessons of everyday life
[02:04.06]Through the celebration of children
[02:07.78]and heartsongs, senses and words
[02:11.09]Or we could lose in our journey to the future
[02:19.32]It matters
[02:26.75]
[02:38.21]A person by my name and being existed
[02:42.95]With a strong spirit and an eternal mindset
[02:47.33]To become a peacemaker for all
[02:50.14]By sharing the things that really matter
