Do What Matters – Life is full of distractions, but true fulfillment comes from focusing on what’s truly important. Prioritize with purpose, align your actions with your values, and invest your time in what brings real meaning and impact.
Do What Matters
(Verse 1)
The world’s a busy place, endless parts moving,
But I won't be distracted, I’ll keep on improving.
I’ll do what matters because I’ve become my mission
Each step forward with care and precision.
(Pre-Chorus )
If it’s important and urgent—it’ll get itself done!
If it’s only urgent—then it’s just for fun.
Not this, not that—I promise to decline
But important, not urgent, that’s where I shine!
(Chorus )
I’ll do what matters, stay steady and strong,
Each step I take moves my mission along.
Not swayed by the urgent nor pulled by the loud,
I’m one with my purpose—my Creator is proud!
(Verse 2)
I’ll confidently say “no” if not aligned with my goal
I’ll stay true to the fire that burns in my soul.
Big rocks first, gravel second
I’ll stay on course, I’ll be a legend!
(Bridge)
Urgent voices, flashing lights,
False importance steals my sight.
But I won’t fall for empty claims,
I know what matters, I won’t play games!
(Pre-Chorus )
If it’s important and urgent—it’ll get itself done!
If it’s only urgent—then it’s just for fun.
Not this, not that—I promise to decline
But important, not urgent, that’s where I shine!
(Chorus )
I’ll do what matters, stay steady and strong,
Each step I take moves my mission along.
Not swayed by the urgent nor pulled by the loud,
I’m one with my purpose—my Creator is proud!
(Verse 3)
Discipline’s no fate—it’s a choice I create,
It all unfolds when my mission’s got straight.
What matters most must lead the way,
Not just tomorrow—but starting today!
(Chorus)
I’ll do what matters, stay steady and strong,
Each step I take moves my mission along.
Not swayed by the urgent nor pulled by the loud,
I’m one with my purpose—my Creator is proud!
(Outro)
What is the key? To say “no” when need be, and without apology,
with honesty and modesty, no care for their ideology.
And that will set me free!
