All That Matters (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

There are days when I feel so afraid

I can hardly remember to breathe

When reality crashes in wave after wave

Pulling me further beneath

So what's the point in planning for a future

If it all can be stolen away?

It's all I can do to hold on and survive

When the colours have faded to grey

But my children need so much more from me

And they give me the strength to go on

Whatever may come

All that matters now

Is where I go from here

There's an easier way if I live for today

The beating of my heart

Is all that matters

He makes sense of all of my chaos

In ways I can never explain

He turns all of my sadness into a smile

He's helping me live life again

It's the light in the eyes of my children

It's the sound of their laughter once more

It's a glimpse of a life I dared only to dream

And a dream only life could restore

And I know that some may not understand

But he's guiding me safely to shore

Not afraid anymore

All that matters now

Is where we go from here

There's easier way if I live for today

The singing in my heart

Is all that matters

It takes me far away

There's easier way if I live for today

The singing in my heart

Is all that matters
