BILLY GILMAN Music Throgh Heartsongs Lyrics
1.For Our World

we need to stop,just stop
stop 4 a moment
b4 anybody says or does anything
that may hurt anyone else

we need to bee silent,just silent
silent 4 a moment
B4 we 4ever lose the blessing of songs
that grow in our hearts

we need to notice,just notice
notice 4 a moment
B4 the future slips away
into ashed and dust of humility

Stop,be silent,and notice
in so many ways,we are the same
Our difference are unique treasures

we have,we are,a mosaic of gifts
to nature,to offer,to accept
we need to be,just be
Be 4 a moment

Kind of gentle,
innocent and trusting
Like children and lambs
Never judging or vengeful
Like the judging and the vengeful

And now,let us pray
Differently,yet together
b4 there's no earth,no life
No chance 4 place
place 4 our world...our world


2.About Things That Matter

It matters that the world knows
We must celebrate the gift of life
Everyday in some way
We must always remember to play after every storm
All children are truly blessed
With the innocent gifts of gentleness, trust and compassion
To guide the wisdom of the grown-ups
We all have a song in our heart that inspires us in good times
and in hard times
If we take the time to listen

CHORUS
It matters, it matters, oh, it matters that the world knows
Our senses help discover the hidden and non-hidden
Enchantment in life, if we use them

We must carefully choose our words and wants
Or we could forever hurt others with these dangerous weapons
Strength and value of all things created
Must be measures by character and commitment
Rathe than by might and by wealth

CHORUS
It matters, it matters, oh, it matters that the world knows
Our senses help discover the hidden and non-hidden
Enchantment in life, if we use them

We must heed the lessons of everday life
Through the celebration of children and heartsongs,
senses and words
Or we could lose in our journey to the future

It matters

A person by my name and being existed
With a strong spirit and an eternal mindset
To become a peacemaker for all
By Sharing the things that really matter.


3.Morning Gift

Don't you just love the morning
When you go outside and there on the ground
Is a fresh perfect green leaf
A leaf floating from the quiet summer trees
Just resting on the grass and waiting to be discovered

Touch the treasure
And pick it up gently
And feel the excitement
Of a new leaf with no tears
No marks and no holes
It is the sign of healing and future

Don't you just love the morning
When you're reminded of the special gifts of life


4.I Am/Shades of Life

I am black. I am white
I am all skins in between
I am young. I am old
I am each age that has been
I am scrawny. I am well fed
I am starving for attention
I am famous. I am cryptic
I am hardly worth the mention
I am short. I am height
I am any frame or stature
I am smart. I am challenged
I am striving for a future

Chorus:
The color of sky
Is blues and grays
The color of earth
Is greens and browns
The color of hope
Is rainbows and purple.
And the color of peace
Is people together
Shades of life
People together
Shades of life
I am

I am able. I am weak
I am some strength, I am none
I am being. I am thought
I am all things, said and done
I am born. I am died
I am dust of humble roots
I am grace. I am pain
I am labor of willed fruits
I am slave. I am free
I am bonded to my life
I am rich. I am poor
I am wealth amid strife

(Repeat Chorus)

I am shadow. I am glory
I am hiding from my shame
I am hero. I am loser
I am yearning for a name
I am empty. I am proud
I am seeking my tomorrow
I am growing. I am fading
I am hope amid the sorrow
I am certain. I am doubtful
I am desperate for solutions
I am leader. I am student
I am fate and evolutions

I am spirit. I am voice
I am memory, not recalled
I am chance. I am cause
I am effort, blocked and walled
I am hymn. I am heard
I am reasoned without rhymes
I am past. I am nearing
I am present in all times
I am many. I am no one
I am seasoned by each being
I am me. I am you
I am all-souls now decreeing

(Repeat Chorus)
