Does It Really Matter? - Up with People

Free at last

We should be Free at Last

Not prisoners of a past

Divided by races

Kind of strange

Though we’re all ‘bout the same

Somehow these lines remain

We stay in our places

What does the colour of the skin

Have to do with the person within

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Well I really don’t know

But when you

Take it past the colour zone and you

Get right down to the bone

Tell me…

Does it really matter?

Does it matter at all?

Rich or Poor

There’s a destiny in store

We will share forever more

No one excluded

And if one day

They blow this world

Of our away

Makes no difference how you pray

We’re all included

And when a hungry baby cries

Can you tell me what

Colour are the tears in his eyes?

Can you tell me…

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Well I really don’t know

But when you

Take it past the colour zone and you

Ger right down to the bone

Tell me…

Does it really matter?

Does it matter at all?

The vision is living on

Lights the road we traveled on

Judging not by the colour of God’s skin

It’s the content of man

The character that stands

Shining from within

Does it Matter?

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Does it really matter?

Well I really don’t know

But when you

Take it past the colour zone and you

Ger right down to the bone

Tell me…

Does it really matter?

Does it matter at all?
