Music Matters

For all those who stood up and were counted
For all those for whom money was no motive
For all those for whom music was a message
I want to thank you for making me a little more sure
A little more wise and courageous

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me the music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all

Under the sheets with my radio turn down low
So nobody know it's the late night show
Hopin' to hear 'Hey Joe', Jimmy was my hero
Head blown by Type R or was it the true star?

From Dali Lama to Tanamo, Curtis Mayfield
Say Kurtis Blow singing into my pillow
And praying I don't dose until my 9 volt battery goes

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me the music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me the music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all

You told me the music matters
You told me the music matters
You told me the music matters
You told me the music matters
