what’s most important?

Music and lyrics by Whitney Walters

What’s most important in your life?
Are you happy with what you do and with who you are?
And do you worry about things that you can’t control?
What’s most important in your life?
Do you look to the ones who you call your best friends and then say,
“I love you more than you’ll ever know?”

Do you count your blessings, or curse your fate?
Do you enjoy your life now, or do you make yourself wait?
Do you use the good silver? Do you take the high road?
Do you make people smile? Do you help carry the load?

What’s most important in your life?
Are you living for now, or just dreaming of some other time
When you think it will be better than right now?
What’s most important in your life?
Are you happy just being yourself, not just filling your time
With things that don’t matter anyhow?

Do you listen to the rain? Do you hold a friend’s hand?
Do you have your own way, or try to understand?
Do you reach out to strangers, do you have the heart?
Is this your ending or is it your start?
Do you live in your fears or do you step outside?
Do you roll the windows down and enjoy the ride?
Have you seen a child’s face when you teach her to sing?
And when you look at your life, what’s the most precious thing?

What’s most important in your life?
Do you know that you’re made of the stuff of the angels above?
And do you know that what’s important is just love?

    about me

    Who says positive music has to sound like a Barney special? This is grown-up, bad-to-the-bone but good-to-the-heart stuff.
