Why It Matters

Sit with me and tell me once again

Of the story that's been told us

Of the power that will hold us

Of the beauty, of the beauty

Why it matters

Speak to me until I understand

Why our thinking and creating

And our efforts of narrating

About the beauty, of the beauty

Why it matters

Like a statue in the park

Of this war-torn town

And its protest of the darkness

And this chaos all around

With its beauty, how it matters, how it matters

Like a statue in the park

Of this war-torn town

And its protest of the darkness

And this chaos all around

With its beauty, how it matters, how it matters

Show me a love that never fails

Some compassion and attention

Midst confusion and dissension

Like small ramparts for the soul

How it matters

Like a single cup of water

How it matters
