What Matters Lyrics

Does it matter that I'll never to be

That man of success, I've tried so hard to be

Does it matter that I'll always fall short

Of accomplishing my good deeds

Does it matter that no one will ever know my name

Does it matter I'll never see fortune and fame

All that matters in the end

From what I have come to learn

Is that I am loved

And that I can love in return

Does it matter that I'm at an impasse

Everything's moving around me, but I'm just standing still

Does it matter that I'm stuck where I am

My job's going nowhere

And I'm just going downhill

Does it matter I'll never be valued as the special one

Does it matter that my masterpiece will never be done

All that matters in the end

Where I place the utmost concern

Is that I am loved

And that I can love in return

I spend so much time focused

On what I should be in the world of man

I lose sight of what's most important

Why and who and what I really am

All that matters

What I hope my children's children might discern

Is that I was loved

And that I could love in return

What matters, and the longer I live

The more I'm bound to learn

I'm bound to learn

Is that I am loved

And that I can love in return
