Things That Matter

I saw an accident this morning on the interstate
And the first thing on my mind was "running late"
I didn't stop and pray that they were safe
I never thought about it after
When did I start missing the things that matter?

I saw a woman standing off exit 85
With the same old jeans and a brand-new cardboard sign
And I didn't roll my window down
Didn't even smile at her
When did I start missing the things that matter?

Help me see the world through your eyes
'Til what breaks your heart is breaking mine
Slow me down. This world is moving faster
But I don't wanna miss the things that matter

I've got a thousand shouting voices in my head
'Cause I've heard a million more on the Internet
Father, how can I discern your voice from all of these distractions?
When did I start missing the things that matter?

Help me see the world through your eyes
'Til what breaks your heart is breaking mine
Slow me down. This world is moving faster
But I don't wanna miss the things that matter

Help me see the world through your eyes
'Til what breaks your heart is breaking mine
Slow me down. This world is moving faster
But I don't wanna miss the things that matter
I don't wanna miss the things that matter
