How Small Is A Matter
Waiting at the traffic light
For it to turn to green
I’m late for work by fifteen minutes
And it matters a lot to me
Standing in the supermarket
With frozen ice for the drinks
It starts to melt and trickle down
And it matters a lot to me
Get out the door and into the car
I hear my voice scream
The children will be late for school again
And it matters a lot to me
The jeans that take forever to dry
And hanging on the line
The weather has changed from fine to rain
And it matters a lot to me
My cellphone won’t work
And I can’t ring to say goodbye
As you wait expectantly at the airport
And it matters a lot me
The Amazon is burning
Floods claim baron lands
Animal extinction is counted daily
And it matters a lot to me
So I put to you just one intention
Spend every day like a fortune
For time is a precious commodity
And it matters a lot to me
