The Days That Matter

In the past it was,
'What mattered the most.'
Everything was, 'a matter of fact.'
And I didn't, unless;
'It was a matter of comon sense.'
Handled of course
'In a succinct matter discretely.'

Now as the rays of the sun
Race away behind the clouds
As the shadows grow deeper
Across my days
And the west of my life
Glows gold and blue fades to gray
I'm left with this hollow feeling
whispering in my ear
Hissing asking; 'What really matters? '

And as I watch the last grains
Of a handfull of sand
Slide throughy fingers
that old saying echoes in my head
'It won't matter
In a hundred yeard.'

It Does Not Matter #2

it does not matter- if you're getting old
it does not matter- if you're skin and bones
it does not matter-if you're old and gray
it does not matter-if you go or stay
it does not matter- what people say
it does not matter-living day to day

the only thing that matters, is that
you're alive today
and you'll fight whatever comes your way.

never give up on yourself
for you have no one else.
age is with us to contend
age is something that is not your friend.

it does not matter- if you had a good life
it does not matter- if you're contrite.

no one really knows the true life you've led
and if you deserve to be in a bed.
and if death is at your bedside
in' GOD' you must confide.

HE is the only one that knows what
you've been through.
so confession is what you have to do.

but! it does not matter
if you confess or not
for he has your graveplot.

so ask forgiveness for what you've done
to' GODS' only son.

The Face

The face that matters
The voice that matters
The walk that matter
The eyes that matter
The lips that matter
The hair that matters
The tippet that matters
The annulets that matter
The ear-rings that matter
The bangles that matter
The lines on your hand
The lines on your forehead
The breath you take
The perfume you smell
All that matter to me.

As A Matter Of Fact

Written by s. garrett & d. boyette
Blow daddy, aww, yeah
Here we are, standing at the hard line
We made it last this long
The two of us, together since the first time
And I believe our love is still strong
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
(chorus)
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)
And I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Some said we wouldnt make it this far
But they dont talk no more (no more)
The love we share is precious as a big star
And what we haves what others hope for
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come or go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
(chorus)
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you (oh, as a matter of fact)
And Im glad that you need me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter, a matter)
Mm, matter of fact, yeah (ooh as a matter of fact)
I want you (yeah, as a matter of fact)
And I cant tell you more than that
As a matter of fact, (ooh, as a matter) yeah (matter)
Aww, blow, daddy
Musical interlude
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Seems love has a funny way
Well, it can come and go or it can choose to stay
But love says what it has to say
(repeat chorus)
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I love you (oh, as a matter of fact)
Yeah and I love that you love me back
As a matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
Ooh, ooh, baby
Matter of fact (ooh, as a matter of fact)
I need you (yeah, as a matter of fact)
And Im glad that you need me right back
As a matter of fact
(ooh, as a matter) yeah (a matter)

No Matter What

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What they belive is true

No matter what they call us
How ever they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what i belive
I can't be what i'm not
I know i love forever
I know no matter what

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would here god say

No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true

And i will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm
No matter where it's barren
Our dream is being born

No matter who they follow
No matter where the lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies aren't blue
No matter why they ended
My life began with you

I can't deny what i believe
I can't be what i'm not
I know this love forever
That's all that matter's now
No matter what

No

No Matter How Handsome and Tall

No matter how Handsome and Tall -
No matter how more Beautiful than all-
No matter how Great-
No matter how Courageous and Strong -
No matter how Loving and Kind-
No matter how Good as Good can be-
No matter how much of All and Everything,
In every way and form
No matter who one is
And what one is
And how much they give
And how life is made better or more beautiful by them-
No matter how Big or how Small
Each one of us
In the end,
In one real sense,
Nothing at all.

No Matter

No matter what your resume might say
No matter your belief or to what GOD you pray
No matter the languages that you might speak
No matter the lessons that you might teach.
No matter the words that you might use
No matter your occupation or the work you do
No matter the schooling or the degrees you have
No matter the pot holes that's in your path.
No matter the places that you had lived
No matter the gifts that you did give
No matter your wealth whether your rich or poor
No matter if you speak quietly or speak with a roar.
No matter the clothes that you wear
No matter the color or the length of your hair
All that matters is your actions and your deeds
As they speak louder, and to them, man will heed.

Right Behind You (Mafia)

You you you you you)
You haven't seen the world outside for days.
You sleep,
You hope,
You wait.
Imagination disappears and all the dreams you have,
You save.
Confrontation like a mirror they try to take your mind away.
(Hey hey)
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means to bleed
And know that you're okay.
(Are you waiting?)
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
(You you you you you)
Bombarded by the atmosphere
You breathe,
You choke,
You breathe, again.
Conversation disappears,
You realize they're not your friends.
The panic of the future rears.
You dig,
You jerk,
You find another way.
(Hey hey)
I don't know, but I believe in yesterday
And what it means to bleed
And know that you're okay.
(Are you waiting?)
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you.
You opened up my face,
No I dont feel the same. (no no no)
You opened up my brain,
But I wont be with haste. (no no no)
(X4)
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do,
No matter what I'm always right there behind you

A Matter Of Love

Written by: neil diamond and tom shapiro
If youve been feeling blue
Hey, its been the same for me
Now Im here with you
Youre exactly what I need
Put your defenses down
Let me show you now
This heart to heart is meant to be
Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Dont you know its a matter of love
Dont you know its a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Cant you see its a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
Weve got magic here, its the power of love I know
Its dancing in the air, I can feel the feeling grow
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I wont ever let you go
Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Dont you know its a matter of love
Dont you know its a matter of trust
Nothings ever gonna seperate us
You and me, its a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And I wont ever let you go
Say, everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All I really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night
Dont you know its a matter of love
Dont you know its a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Cant you see its a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love
(its a matter of love...)

Home By Now/no Matter What

The locusts are singing
The sun is red
Its gotten so late somehow
Theres gonna be trouble
You know what they said
We should have been home by now
We should have been home by now
The thunder is rolling
The sky is black
Its gotten so dark somehow
Theres gonna be danger
God I wish we were back
We should have been home by now
We should have been home by now
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
Well find our own way back
I cant deny what 1 believe
I cant be what Im not
I know Ill love forever, I know -
No matter what.
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered.
Then we would hear God say:
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true
And I will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm
No matter where its barren
A dream is being born
No matter where they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
Ill be everyone you need
No matter if the sun dont shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the ending
My life began with you
I cant deny what I believe
I cant be what Im not
I know this loves forever
I know no matter what
I cant deny what believe
I cant be what Im not
I know this loves forever
Thats all that matters now

You Matter To Me

Look up, the sky is crying
Endless tears
Feels like my whole worlds dying
It hurts when youre not here
cause you matter to me and thats why
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
I aint no good at talkin
So girl Im tellin you straight
My heart feels just like an orphan
I hope Im not too late
cause you matter to me and thats why (and thats why)
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
If I could have just one wish
Id stand you in my place
Then youd know how much I miss you
Youll never be replaced
cause you matter to me and thats why (and thats why)
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
You still matter to me
And thats the only reason I need, to get by
You still matter to me, yes you do
cause you matter to me, yes you do
And thats the only reason I need, to get by (get by)

And thats the only reason I need, to get by (get by)

It Really Doesn't Matter

You say your ugly, i say it doesn't matter.
You say you have a dark past,
i say it doesn't matter.
You say theirs overwhelming responsibility,
i say it doesn't matter.
I don't believe in walking away when things get hard.
In fact they are my spark to continue my march.
Through thick and thin where to begin.
You say you don't have a way.
I say it doesn't matter.
You say that you cant give back what you would like.
I say it doesn't matter.
You say, you say oh it really doesn't matter,
I live one day at a time.
Choices will be made that will save the day
but hurt me financially.
It doesn't matter Choice will be made
that will set me back in my expectations.
It doesn't matter,
It really doesn't matter.
Its well worth it.
To see the beauty that
you have placed before me.
Oh how its worth it.
To settle down and not be looking to be found.

Matterings

'All I want' she said' is to matter.'

'All I want' said the scientist 'is
to understand matter'.

'The problem of life' the philosopher said
'is figuring out what matters'

'The secret' the muse said 'to life
is figuring out what is to matter more
and to learn what matters less

The Lover said
'All that matters to me
is matters of the heart
and I did not matter to him enough.'

'What does it mean to matter
is an world of billions;
what tracings and scratchings
on the globe
can be identified
as mine engraved? ' said the nihilist.

'What if I matter to me and no one else? '
said the Lonely One

'We could all decide that we all matter
to one another in our community
and that would make mattering matter.'
said the preacher.

'Ideas matter' Plato said
'and they are the only thing real.'

'But alas' the writer said
'imagining is the only matter that matters
and besides what does mattering mean? '

Einstein thought all that mattered lived inside
the daydream and the thought experiment.

'What matters' the man of action said
'depends entirely upon circumstance'

What matters' she said 'is empathy
more even than love because the latter
is only inward looking toward The One:
empathy alone looks out to others.

'What matters, ' some said, 'is how do we
gets things to matter as opposed to
being cast aside as not mattering? '

The dictionary is no help at all.

Definitions of matter on the Web:

a vaguely specified concern; 'several matters to attend to'; 'it is none of your affair'; 'things are going well'

topic: some situation or event that is thought about; 'he kept drifting off the topic'; 'he had been thinking about the subject for several years'; 'it is a matter for the police'

that which has mass and occupies space; 'physicists study both the nature of matter and the forces which govern it'

a problem; 'is anything the matter? '

(used with negation) having consequence; 'they were friends and it was no matter who won the games'

count: have weight; have import, carry weight; 'It does not matter much'
written works (especially in books or magazines): 'he always took some reading matter with him on the plane'
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

Matter is a general term for the 'stuff' of which the world is made
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

Matter is the substrate from which physical existence is derived, remaining more or less constant amid changes. anything that occupies space and has mass and weight. The word 'matter' is derived from the Latin word mā teria, meaning 'wood' in the sense 'material', as distinct from 'mind' or 'form'.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_(philosop hy)

This a surprising definition:

Matter is anything that has mass. Air, water, coffee, fire, human beings, and stars are matter. Light, X-rays, photons, gravitons, information, and love aren't matter.
antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/ intro/glossary.shtml

If all of these definitions are true then we have a problem with what matters and what is mattering.

Cling & Clatter

Too many voices
It wont take long
Which ones right
Which ones wrong
Yours is most likely to be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues on the top of my lungs
til I find you
til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would
And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head, and what you said is ringing,
Ringing faster
And its all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could
Just realize it doesnt really matter,
It doesnt really matter
It doesnt really matter
If I could touch the sound of silence
Now you know I would if I knew
How to make these intentions come around
Im hearing without listening
And believing every word you are not saying
Speaking without a sound
When I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head, and what you said is ringing,
Ringing faster
And its all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize it doesnt really matter,
It doesnt really matter
It doesnt really matter
Trapped inside of these four walls
Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would
And its all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize it doesnt really matter,
It doesnt really matter
It doesnt really matter
And its all good if you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could just realize it doesnt really matter,
It doesnt really matter
All this cling and clatter

The Purpose In Life Is To Find Its Purpose

it does not matter
really who is at the top
the one who shines
like the sun
the best and most
useful
the most important
and even say
indispensable
like air

it does not really matter
to me
whether you are the
sun or the
moon
whether you are
king or
god

the place does not
matter
any name for the matter
does not
really matter to me

i am here because i
want a cure
and what matters most then
is

where is the cure?
or even just
that temporary relief
from these series of deaths
that we
are experiencing

When I See You Again

Written by stevie nicks.
When I see you again
Will it be the same
When I see you again
Will it be over
When I see you again
Will your great eyes still say
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby
So she walks slowly down the hall
There are many doors in the hallway
And she stares at the stairs
Ooh there are many things to stare at these days
If she sees him again
Will your very best friend
Will your very best friend
Oh, have been replaced by some other
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby
Whats the matter, baby, baby
And the dream says I want you
And the dream is gone
So she stays up night on end
Well at least there is a dream left
If I see you again
Will it be over
If I see you again
Will it be the same
If I see you again
Will it be over
Again and again
Over and over

It Doesn't Matter

Hey, how's your conscience lately
You tried so hard to please me
And now you seem so uneasy
You say that you've enough and you're out of love
It hit me like a hurricane
It hit me like a speeding train
I try to climb a mountain range
And fall down on the ground again
I thought that it would be OK
But you had other cards to play
Just like a shot from a gun
I got hurt, I got stunned
That's how it hit me
I just want to know why
Do you do this to me?
And where, is your sense of reason?
So how, could you fool me so long?
And now, watch my tenderness turn to emptiness
It hit me like a hurricane...
It doesn't matter what I do
It doesn't matter much to you
It doesn't matter what I do
It's over now, we're through
You got me feeling excited
You gad me set and ignited
But now I'm feeling so down low
Like some down-trodden hobo
It doesn't matter...
You gad me chasing illusions
You got me lost in confusion
And I'm so tired of losin'
I've got to stop, now, and not get involved with you
again
It doesn't matter...

Matter

Would it matter if I was gone tomorrow?
Would it matter if I hurt myself?

For at times it seems like nothing matters.
Not even myself.

As I lie on the floor I ask myself over and over again in my mind,
Would it matter?

For right now the answer is no it wouldn't matter.
Maybe in the morning I will think differently.

It Really Doesnt Matter

I spent some time across the waves
I learned a lot of things I never could
I waved my magic wand over the past
I never understood
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
We strolled around on different ground
There must have been some kind of reason
Nothing ventured, nothing found
Must have been the wrong season
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
I flew you high, I flew you low
I flew you all the way around
You played for me your pretty tune
Now look what I have found
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for
It really doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all, doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all, doesnt matter at all
If you found what youre lookin for, doesnt matter at all
It really doesnt matter at all

No matter what you say
No matter what you do Ill send you love
Starting today

Im not frightened at all
Im just sad that youre feeling this way
But no matter what you do

You felt betrayed
You are lost
You are scared
You are frightened I know
And Im sad that youre feeling this way
But no matter what you do

Just what is important
And I found out
Who really loves me
And I found out
That trials like these make us grow
So no matter what you feel Ive done to you
Know that my heart was true
If reaping what you sow is real I know
I planted in truth
And I hope you find out
That its you that youre hurting
Its time that you let it all go
cause no matter what you do
Ill send you love cause I know
That if I lose it all
Ill survive and Ill show
From the fall I can grow and go on
And I wont live in fear of the changes it makes
cause Ive learned what it takes to be strong
So no matter what you do
Ill send you love
Oh no matter what you say
Oh no matter what you do
Ill send you love starting today
Im not lost
Im not scared
Im not frightened at all
I surrender myself to my fate
So no matter what you do Ill send you love
Oh no matter what you do Ill send you love
Oh no matter what you do Ill send you love anyway

Im Housin

Coolin on the scene like a horse in a stable
A brother got ill and tried to snatch a fat cable
I stepped back, like it wasnt no thing
I punched him in the jaw with the fat gold ring
I had an ace in the hole when it came to that
Yo z you was packin? you know was strapped
Posse kept rollin it was hard to get with em
So I stepped back, and unbuttoned my lee denim
They kept coming, just like I figured
So I stepped back, and started sprayin niggaz
What a way to go out, out like a sucker
But Im on track, like a long island train
That can head up your mission, suckers who be dissing
Always on my jock like a snake always hissing
Grabbing and tapping me like luther vandross
Take me to the bar for the drink and make a toast
Givin best wishes to the best mc
And when the spot is blown and yo you know its me
Because Im housin
cause Im housin
Because Im housin
cause Im housin
Because Im housin
Because Im housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
cause Im housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
cause Im housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
cause Im housin
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Coolin at a party, no better yet disco
Head feelin mellow from a bottle of cisco
Move...
To crush and fry a sucker mc like crisco
Gimme the cue, check one two
Dont try to come off on me, because you doo-doo
You treatin me the z to the d, like a stepchild
Let me tell you homeboy youre livin foul
Mcs, you know who you are
On the bandwagon why z? cuz you a star
This is the year when the jokers are wild
When a fag cant hack it and try to bite your style
I get hip to the scheme, before it happens
If it gets wild, then I start cappin
But for now, since everythings calm
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
Because Im housin
cause Im housin
cause Im housin

Because Im housin
Cmon
Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb

Relate to the matter as I drop the bomb
