You've Always Mattered
By your skin's pigment, I've never judged you,
but by your character I see you through.
Your deep concerns are only a figment;
I've never judged you by your skin's pigment.
We are all descendants from Adam's side,
and we'll continue to be multiplied,
so let brotherly love take transcendence.
From Adam's side, we are all descendants.
God created each cell that forms your skin,
each precious hair strand, the curve of your chin.
What makes you special should not be hated.
Each cell that forms your skin, God created.
You've always mattered; never doubt your worth.
God fashioned your life to dwell on this earth.
If your heart gets broken by dreams shattered,
never doubt your worth; you've always mattered.
