the matter matters all too much its true

the matter matters all too much its true
for what it is is everything and man
it's what I am and what they were and you

within four pounds is everything we do
ideas thoughts and actions all we can
the matter matters all too much its true

without the matter what we are and who
is not and nil, a null and all but sans
it's what I am and what they were and you

i'm in my own and in your own was you
though in your own was me a full grown man
the matter matters all too much its true

you matter also, and in mine is you
a matter of my matter mind in hand
it's what I am and what they were and you

without your matter how you lived and grew
is gone but in my matter you still stand
the matter matters all too much its true
it's what I am and what they were and you
