Lyrics

Free at last, we should be free at last
Not prisoners of a past divided by races
Kinda strange, though we're about the same
Somehow these lines remain, we stay in our places
What does the color of the skin
Have to do with the worth of a within?
Now, does it really matter?
Does it really matter?
Does it really matter?
Well, I really don't know
But when you take you past the colors, Lord
And you get right down to the bone
Tell me, does it really matter?
Does it matter at all?
Rich or poor, there's a destiny in store
We will share forevermore, no one excluded
And if one day they blow this world all far away
Makes no difference how you pray, we're all included
And when a hungry baby cries
Can you tell me what color are the tears in his eyes?
Can you tell me
Does it really matter?
Does it really matter?
Does it really matter?
Well, I really, really don't know
But when you take you past the colors, Lord
And you get right down to the bone
Tell me, does it really matter?
Does it matter at all?
The vision, the vision
Like the road we travel on
Judging not by the color of the skin
Oh, it's the content of man
The character that stands
Shining from within
Does it matter? (Does it really matter?)
Oh (Does it really matter?)
Does it really matter? (Does it really matter?)
Well, I really don't know
But when you (Take you past the colors, Lord)
When you get right down to the bone
Tell me, does it really matter?
Does it matter at all?
I have a dream today
That the former will of man
Will become a reality in this day
I have a dream
