Music Matters

For all those who stood up and counted

For all those for whom money was no motive

For all those for whom music was a message

I want to thank you

For making me

A little more sure

A little more wise

And courageous

You taught me to look much further

You taught me to want much more

You taught me that music matters

Let's chase the dogs back from our door

I won't stop here, I won't be still

Until the Sun sets on us all

Under the sheets with my radio

Turned down low

So nobody know, it's the late night show

Hopin' to hear "Hey Joe", Jimmy was my hero

Head blown by Type R

Or was it a true star?

From Bamalama to Tandamo

Curtis Mayfield to Kurtis Blow

Singin' into my pillow

And prayin' I don't dose

Until my 9 volt battery goes

You taught me to look much further

You taught me to want much more

You taught me that music matters

Let's chase the dogs back from our door

I won't stop here, I won't be still

Until the Sun sets on us all

You taught me to look much further

You taught me to want much more

You taught me that music matters

Let's chase the dogs back from our door

I won't stop here, I won't be still

Until the Sun sets on us all

You taught me that music matters

You taught me that music matters

You taught me that music matters

You taught me that music matters
