what matters more? Lyrics

Tell me

What matters more?

It matters less what you do

And more why you do it

The divine eye sees all as it courses through your fluids

Your deepest little secrets

The ones you hide from them all

Your ulterior motives that bring your rise and your fall

It matters less what you do, and more the motivation

Do you act from your center, or a peripheral location

Are the voices of others louder than your inner one

Does the light keep you warm in the cold like a winter sun

It matters less the outcome, and more the intention

Does your good deed come with the need for attention

Does your left hand watch while your right hand donates

Have you told your lonely soul that you and God are soulmates

It matters less what you want, and more why you want it

Do you do it to serve, or just to put your name on it

If it's not what you deserve, then you can run your game on it

But the house always wins, so come home and weigh in on it

It matters less what you are, and more what you're not

Are you the brain, or the body, or the memories, or thoughts

Are you the gender, or the race, or religion

or the box that you put yourself in, then swallow the key to the lock

It matters less what you know, and more what you don't

Is your intellect getting so sharp it'll cut your throat

Is your cup so full, another drop would overflow

Are you in it to accumulate, or just let it come and go

Tell me

What matters more
