Creating Connections

What matters most to you?
Take a look inside
What matters most to you?
Don’t be shy
Don’t let it hide

What matters most to you?
Is it gazing at a star?
What matters most to you?
Holding love in your heart,
No matter who or where you are?

Is it the presence of a rainbow?
Or the smile on a child’s face?
Is it the soaring of an eagle?
Or giving a cup of kindness filled with grace?
Is it the greatness of a redwood tree?
Or floating around a river’s bend?
The calming touch of a gentle hand?
Or talking late into the night
with a long-lost friend?

What matters most to you? 
Take a look inside
What matters most to you? 
Don’t be shy
Don’t let yourself hide

Perhaps there are stories you want to share
Stories of pain and glory 
That you never laid bare 
Perhaps there are songs you want to sing
Just open your heart
Let the words come out
And let, let them ring

What matters most to you?
Take a look inside 
What matters most to you?
Don’t be shy 
Don’t let yourself hide
