This song was inspired by depression. I had seen my sister through a severe depression, and I too was struck with it for several months. It is fascinating how the way we perceive things, the attitude we hold, can make a difference as to how we handle life. When I was depressed, I tried to convince myself to appreciate the simplest things – to nurture a sense of wonder.

All that matters is the sunshine
and its sparkle in your hair
All that matters is the breath I take
and the love that we share

All that matters is the blossom
brilliant flower of time
All that matters are the leaves that dance
to the winds gentle rhyme

All in my heart, all in my heart
All in my heart, all in my heart

All that matters is this moment
the connection that I feel
All that matters is the bird singing
telling me what's real

All that matters is the silence
of the candles yellow flame
Taking me to any world
to the source from where I came

All that matters is this feeling
telling me my truth
All that matters is this touching
feeling for you
