Horace Silver
How Much Does Matter Really Matter?
[Verse 1]
When one puts the emphasis on material things today
The truth will enlighten them in the simplest kind of way

[Chorus]
When one seeks the spiritual the material seems to say
How much does matter really matter
Or does matter really matter at all?

[Verse 2]
The world of material is ethereal so they say
And life is a serial and we all have our part to play

[Chorus]
When one seeks the spiritual the material seems to say
How much does matter really mattеr
Or does matter really mattеr at all?

[Bridge]
Since the spirit exists in matter
Then the latter was surely meant to be
But I won't let matter tatter the spirit
That's way down deep in me

[Verse 3]
All forms in reality are the products of mind and force
The one true reality has the spiritual as its source
[Chorus]
When one seeks the spiritual the material seems to say
How much does matter really matter
Or does matter really matter at all?
