You Matter
[Verse 1]
Hey
I just want you to listen carefully right now
Are you alone? or are other people around you?
If you’re not by yourself or with someone you trust that’s also Listening, then get somewhere where you can just focus on me
On the sound of my voice
And the words that I’m saying
Okay.
Here goes.
There’s something strange about life
About us
Everyday we walk through life with goals and tasks
And then completing those tasks makes us happy
But sometimes pеople allow that to become lifе
Their whole life
Just tasks
One after the other
Sometimes its good to live in the present
But not when you can’t see a future for yourself
Not when you fail to see the important parts of life
And I know no one can choose how they feel every single time
And some people have a lot less control over that than others
But for anyone listening
And anyone that needs to know
Listen to my voice right now
And the words I’m saying to you
Because whether you believe certain things happen for a reason
It won’t make a difference if you just allow moments to pass by
If you’re not appreciating and thinking about what’s happening right now
It’ll be gone and it’ll be too late
So if I’m talking to you for a reason right now
Or if you’ve just stumbled upon this by mere coincidence
That has nothing to do with what you make of it
What you make of every moment will change how you see the world
So I’ll say this one more time, please please listen.
So whoever needs to hear this
To understand this
To apply this to themselves
Will hear it clearly and
Will have no doubt in their mind
And will know
That only you can believe it for yourself
You.
You right there.
You matter.
You matter to someone out there.
You matter to those you love.
You matter to your community.
You matter to the future of this nation.
You matter to me.
You matter to God.
Whether you tried to or not, you’ve made a difference in the world
Just by making someone smile
By holding someone while they cried
Just by being there
By existing
You’ve made a difference without even attempting to
Imagine what would happen if you did try
Not believing you matter, just robs you of your happiness
Because you absolutely make a difference
And you absolutely can work to be the best you
And you absolutely can make someone smile
And make someone happy
And work for your community
And lead a family
Or a church
Or an entire nation if that’s your purpose
But please understand
This message isn’t from me,
It’s from someone much bigger than me
You matter.
You can make a difference.
So don’t give up.
