Lyrics
WHATEVER THINGS
Words and music written by Steven Oudean 2002
VERSE 1
Here?s some words of wisdom from a page of an old, old book
That?s collected dust for way too long
Well, the words jumped out at me and made my eyes to see
That things are very different from how they ought to be? (Oh yeah?)
CHORUS
Whatever things are lovely, (whatever things)
Whatever things are pure, (whatever things)
Whatever things are true and good to hear
Think on these things, think on these things
VERSE 2
Now, we?re all well aware of the problems in our world
It?s right there for everyone to see
Just turn on your TV to the latest tragedy
Atrocities across our land, oh God help us please? (Help us please?)
CHORUS
Whatever things are lovely, (whatever things)
Whatever things are pure, (whatever things)
Whatever things are true and good to hear
Think on these things, think on these things
VERSE 3
Now, have we asked ourselves, is there something I can do
To make a better place of my world?
Well, it?s still the little things that really mean the most,
And love and care and kindness are worth much more than gold?More than gold?)
CHORUS
Whatever things are lovely, (whatever things)
Whatever things are pure, (whatever things)
Whatever things are true and good to hear
Think on these things, (think on these things) think on these things
Think on these things, (think on these things) think on these things
Hey, whatever things, (think on these things), (think on these things)
Hey whatever things, (think on these things), (think on these things)
Hey whatever things!
