Does It Really Matter

[Verse] Does it really matter if the stars don’t shine If the sun sinks low and we run out of time Do the clouds cry loud when we’re moving on Do the echoes linger when the voice is gone [Verse 2] Does it really matter if the wind stands still If the rivers dry up Lose their will Can we build a bridge to where we came Can we whisper truth in a world of blame [Chorus] Does it really matter when the light is fading Does it really matter if the past is waiting Do we leave a trace in the silence we make Or are we just shadows that the dawn will break [Verse 3] Does it really matter when the clock hands sigh When the waves retreat Never asking why Does the earth still spin even when we’re through Do the roots still reach when there’s nothing new [Bridge] Tell me does it matter if we don’t exist If everything we loved is something we missed Is the end a friend or a passing flame Does it burn us out or call our name [Chorus] Does it really matter when the light is fading Does it really matter if the past is waiting Do we leave a trace in the silence we make Or are we just shadows that the dawn will break
