what matters


My mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she want to spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Causeall that you have is your soul

Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

I was a young boy once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a lady she stole my heart away
She gave her love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make history
Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess another
And all that you have is your soul

Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul = = =DEOLA (Fro: Tracy Chapman)
