I WANT ME TO MATTER

I WANT ME TO MATTER

I thought nothing mattered
I thought I was gone and battered
I thought no one gave a damn
I thought I was shattered

I've been down a dirty pipe line
scratched myself on rusty nails
been out on a limb no life line
crawled allot trails to here now

I want me to matter I want me to matter
I want you to know
I'ts all gotta matter life's not going away
I want me to matter to you today

You gotta hold your head up high
I now see beyond the skies
It takes going down down down
to see through all the lies now

I want me to matter I want me to matter
I want you know we gotta matter
I'ts all gotta matter life's not going away
I want me to matter to you today

no use thinking anything neg now
the way you choose it's gotta sound

like it all matters it's all gotta matter
ain't nothing can throw me off this road
I gotta an itch and it all

matters
You gotta hold your head up high
I now see beyond the skies
It takes going down down down
to see through all the lies now

I want me to matter you I want me to matter
I want you to know it so we all gotta matter
I'ts all gotta matter life's not going away
I want me to matter to you today
to you today to you forever
to you to you

You are welcome Ahyra -- Sad truth is .. not everyone DOES matter-- You only have to see it in Syria - Afganistan - Africa- as the worst - and many more ... In our country Australia -- so many need to validated too. Many thanks for your response .. xx
minkybee
Sorry -- I meant that in other countries -- people are not counted for as human beings with basic human needs met ... They are in forced positions, where they are treated as if they DON'T matter xx
