作曲 : Lauer, Stepanek 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 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
