The Turning Album: Learning To Lose Track: Everything Matters
Everything Matters Lyrics
Your hands are crowded Filled with the things that you do The things that take over you Your thoughts are scattered Watered down pieces of you Look what you're going through
Chorus: How do you sleep with the light on How do you love with your soul gone Do you smile when your world is in your hands Can't you see that when everything matters Then nothing's what it seems
Your fears are slowly Taking your mind away Oh what a price you pay
This life is surely Subject to change anyway For reasons we cannot change
Everything you are falls between the lines Of mediocrity, won't you ever see All you really need is to love the great divine And love one another, that's all that matters
By Jacob McGinnis and Matt Warren
Song Description: "'Everything Matters' was actually the title of the EP that we released when we moved to Nashville. When we allowed Dave Clark to critique some of the songs at GMA Academy, he glanced at the EP title and mentioned he would love to hear a song called "Everything Matters." He encouraged us that there was a song hidden in the thoughts of that title. As we started recording the album, I sat down to write the song and decided to take a different angle than previously intended: Sometimes everything doesn't matter. God has called us to love him and to love others, period. Everything else falls into place when we live by these two commandments." - Jacob McGinnis (The Turning)
