What does it matter if the time has passed?
What does it matter if it will take a while?
What does it matter if the day has arrived?
What does it matter if it will never come?
What does it matter if someone said?
What does it matter if nobody says?
What matters is here and now
Every time is time
As long as I can be
What matters is being here and now
Every time is time
As long as I can be
I’m happy, joyful, and strong
I have love and luck
Wherever I go
I’m happy, joyful, and strong
I have love and a lot of luck
Wherever I go
What does it matter if the tire’s flat?
What matters is if it will take off
What does it matter if you slipped?
What matters is getting up
What does it matter if the night got cold?
What matters is knowing how to love
A content state of mind
Only depends
On believing
A content state of mind
Depends on us
It’s just believing
I’m happy, joyful, and strong
I have love and luck
Wherever I go
I’m happy, joyful, and strong
I have love and a lot of luck
Wherever I go
