What Really Matters (Euri Silva Cover) (Remix)

+ Show full styles

A stranger smiles, and it softens the air
But we walk right past, pretending not to care
We build these walls with labels and fear
But deep inside, we all just want to be near

[Pre-Chorus]
Look around. There's more to see
Than what divides you and me

[Chorus]
So why do we fight?
Why do we hate?
When love is the light
That could open the gate
To a world where we rise
Instead of fall apart
Wake up, wake up
Let love restart

So much to hold
So much to give
Isn't life too short
Not to truly live?
Why choose the dark
When the sky's so blue?
Wake up to what matters
Me and you

[Verse 2]
There’s an old man sitting by the corner store
Says he marched in sixty-three, now he’s marching no more
He asks, “How are we still stuck in the same old fight?”
I said, “Maybe we forgot we’re made of the same light”

A young girl paints peace signs on her shoes
Wonders why kindness feels like something you lose
But we could change the ending, page by page
If we all showed up instead of rage

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't need a perfect plan
Just open hearts and helping hands

[Chorus]
So why do we fight?
Why do we hate?
When love is the light
That could open the gate
To a world where we rise
Instead of fall apart
Wake up, wake up
Let love restart

So much to hold
So much to give
Isn't life too short
Not to truly live?
Why choose the dark
When the sky's so blue?
Wake up to what matters
Me and you

[Bridge]
Let's raise hands, not fists
Let's teach our kids what love really is
Let's light candles where there's pain
Let every stranger have a name

Let's trade silence for a song
Let the weak know they belong
It starts with me, and it starts with you
Just one step and we’ll break through

[Final Chorus]
No, we don't have to fight
We don't need hate
When love is the light
That can open the gate
To a world where we rise
Where we stand as one
Wake up, wake up
The change has begun

So much to share
So much to mend
We're not strangers
We're just friends we haven't met yet
Let's write a new story
And make it true
Wake up to what matters
Me and you

[Outro]
Wake up, wake up
To what matters
To what's true

[End]

[Verse 1] The sun is rising, painting gold on the street Kids are laughing, tapping out a rhythm with their feet A mother hugs her son before the school bell rings How did we forget the joy in simple things? A stranger smiles, and it softens the air But we walk right past, pretending not to care We build these walls with labels and fear But deep inside, we all just want to be near [Pre-Chorus] Look around. There's more to see Than what divides you and me [Chorus] So why do we fight? Why do we hate? When love is the light That could open the gate To a world where we rise Instead of fall apart Wake up, wake up Let love restart So much to hold So much to give Isn't life too short Not to truly live? Why choose the dark When the sky's so blue? Wake up to what matters Me and you [Verse 2] There’s an old man sitting by the corner store Says he marched in sixty-three, now he’s marching no more He asks, “How are we still stuck in the same old fight?” I said, “Maybe we forgot we’re made of the same light” A young girl paints peace signs on her shoes Wonders why kindness feels like something you lose But we could change the ending, page by page If we all showed up instead of rage [Pre-Chorus] We don't need a perfect plan Just open hearts and helping hands [Chorus] So why do we fight? Why do we hate?
