All That Matters
Mathew and I went in the woods hunting frogs
We found adventure seeking what’s under logs
The truth of our youth caressed in nature’s breast
We were too young to know how much we were blessed
All that matters was the love we shared
All that matters was that we cared
Take your temptations of silver and gold
All that matters are the things
you can’t hold
Schoolyard bullies the wicked
lessons of high school
All them Christians not knowing
the golden rule
Life was confusing I didn’t even
know I was lost
The sun shined brightly living in
a land of frost
All that matters was the love we shared
All that matters was that we cared
Take your temptations of silver and gold
All that matters are the things
you can’t hold
Off to college because it was the
thing to do
I learned my lessons but I hadn’t
a clue
I burned so I turned to an
artificial high
You couldn’t call it heaven but I
reached the sky
All that matters was the love we shared
All that matters was that we cared
Take your temptations of silver and gold
All that matters are the things
you can’t hold
The psychiatric institute is a
mean machine
To keep control they shoot you up
with Thorazine
Innocent of crime doing time
against my will
Everything I cherished perished in
the kill
Help me Jesus I’m a stranger in a
strange land
In the suffering I began to
understand
This is the land of the living
full of the damned
But the choice is mine the wheel
turns by my hand
All that matters was the love we shared
All that matters was that we cared
Take your temptations of silver and gold
All that matters are the things
you can’t hold
