What Matters
(Edwin McCain)


Did you forget about the passion
Living day to day
We keep our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a lifetime
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried

Well it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about you're losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

Let's forget about the notion
That we're not the same
My blood runs as red as yours
We all get angry
We've all been scared
We've all made big mistakes
That can never be repaired

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about you're losing streak
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

Look me in the eye
Take my hand
We can make a difference
We can make a difference
I know we can
If we forgot about the passion
Living day to day
We kept our dreams locked down inside
And choking on a life time
And never take a chance
Wake up one day wishing you tried

And it ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about you're losing strength
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart

It ain't about the money
It ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost
Or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about you're losing strength
Makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is the heart
What really matters
What matters is the heart
