Story behind the song

The song centers around news items of the time it was written - the revelations about priests sodomizing children, the story of the two brothers who murdered their parents in cold blood - leaving out the many wars that are constantly raging all around us; then and now.  Meanwhile we all scurry around working hard to make ends meet.  You get the idea?

Lyrics

It Really Matters
Music and Lyrics By:  John “Jonnikhan” King

If you’d been where I have been, and seen what I have seen;
It might change a few things you believe in;
And the same in reverse can be said in the daily newspaper you read;
‘Bout the priest and the sons and all of the ones who really matter;
	Really matter…

Of course you know it’s true, what the powermen say to you;
Though it changes from day to day for some reason;
Like ants we carry on, it’s been this way for so long;
We silently pray there will come a day when dreams won’t shatter;
	It Really Matters…

{Bridge – “It Really Matters” X 4}

And soon I will come to know that life is more than a show;
And I hope that I live my life with some meaning;
For as the day is long, and for all the things I do wrong;
It’s not what I say, or how well I play, but what I do really matters;
	It Really Matters…It Really Matters!
