You Matter

You Matter

I wonder why I should bother
Does anyone care?
Often think I’m wasting my life
If someone is out there
I do not know
All I feel is heartache and strife

I care, I do
I listen to you
And I hope one day you will see
Your words, so kind
Have opened my mind
And yes, you matter to me

I am wishing, I am seeking
This dream that I dream
Though I really can’t tell you why
The answer I know lies somewhere within
Only God knows why I still try

(But)
I care, I do
I listen to you
And I pray one day you will see
Your words, so kind
Have opened my mind
And yes, you matter to me

All I need is one person
A believer, like me
Silly, but I know it is true
Dreams happen in time, of that I am sure
I know I am searching for you

(’cause)
I care, I do
I listen to you
And I know one day you will see
Your words, so kind
Have opened my mind
And yes, you matter to me

Oh yes, you matter to me
