I've been walking on my words
these old boots won't turn around
They're so used to just one sound
What I'm trying to say is, that was then,
Does any of it mat ter anyhow?
And the battle of each day must be won
Single file I lead to charge,
proud of every wound and scar
An d the armor of my father weighs a ton
He could never leave the field
On his back he wouldn't yield
Green laurels paid a fetter of his sum
But the worst of his slaughter
was his self -inflicted torture
Death was his next fortune overcome
But that was then, this is now
Does any of it mat ter anyhow?
Now does that mean I lied?
Dignity is very hard to weigh
But the love of a mother never fades
And dreams a situation overcome
Spending the day of reckoning will come
But that was then, this is now
Does any of it mat ter anyhow?
That was then, this is now
Does any of it mat ter anyhow?
That was then, this is now
Does any of it matter, anyhow?
At the end of every day, there's just you
But that was then, this is now
Does any of it matter, anyhow?
There's just you, there's just you,
