Does It Really Matter

© 2014 Mark Cote

How am I
then walk away
do you care
what I have to say
does it really matter
does it really matter anyway

if I'm rich
if I'm poor
another tide
on the shore
does it really matter
does it really matter anyway

(bridge) for we walk our path alone
                 the steps we take
                 are just our own
                 faces come
                 faces go
                 faces come
                 faces go

(chorus) does it really matter
                 when it's all said and done
                 as this world comes all undone
                 when our souls
                 do drift away
                 does it really matter
                 does it really matter anyway

when I trip
when I fall
another brick
upon the wall
who will wipe the tears away
does it really matter
does it really matter anyway

when my words
are a memory
when my face
 you no longer see
nothing left you can say
did I really matter
did I really matter anyway

(chorus)
