#𝕋𝕣𝕒𝕧𝕖𝕝 - Nothing Matters

[Verse 1] Dawn breaks cold on the back porch rail, Old boots, muddy jeans, and a coffee pail. Dad’s stooped low, rolling up his sleeves, Never saw the years or the way he breathes. Dog at his side, same as it’s always been, Chasing magpies under morning wind. [Verse 2] Sun climbs slow, sweat prickles my brow, Hands feel older, aching now. He’s chuckling quiet, face in the shade, Wrinkles I never thought time could’ve made. For the first time, I just watch him there, Used to be young, now silver in his hair. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe growing up means looking back, Finding a child where I thought nothing lacked. [Chorus] Nothing matters, don’t worry, Let the world slip by in a hurry. Long as we’ve got this land and sky, Our old boots, this old dog, you and I. [Bridge] Laugh lines deep as the back bends, Fence posts lean, but the row never ends. I see my future in your faded hat, Growing into the man you’re looking at. [Verse 3] Days run long, fence lines fade out of view, Stories in footprints, old and new. He whistles tunes only he seems to know, Dust on his shoulders, sun casting its gold. My back aches after a day in the field, But his laughter reminds me that spirit won’t yield. [Verse 4] Storms in the distance, thunder rolls slow, Fires we’ve weathered, and crops we’ve watched grow. Sometimes I wonder how time moves so fast, Chasing each season, tied close to the past. I catch him smiling at the sky’s changing hue, Knowing this land shaped both, me and you [Chorus] Nothing matters, don’t worry Under gum trees, under big western sky. Work comes and goes, but love lingers on Nothing matters, don’t worry, son 🐞🐞🐞 ©Bao Lynn 2025. All rights reserved 🐞🐞🐞
