I Matter
Please can you hear me
I know I’m small
To you I might not matter at all
I feel pain and love as well
Words sting, I feel their shame
To you I might not matter at all
I cry at night, hot tears of shame
Soak my pillow with wretched pain
To you I might not matter at all
So listen now, I’m someone too
You carried me and gave me life
I’d like to know to you I matter a lot
I know I’m small
To you I might not matter at all
I feel pain and love as well
Words sting, I feel their shame
To you I might not matter at all
I cry at night, hot tears of shame
Soak my pillow with wretched pain
To you I might not matter at all
So listen now, I’m someone too
You carried me and gave me life
I’d like to know to you I matter a lot
