My mother says she doesn't care
About the color of my hair.
or if my eyes are blue or brown.
Or if my nose turns up or down.
It doesn't really matter.

My mother says she doesn't care,
If I'm dark or if I'm fair,
Or if I'm thin or if I'm fat.
She doesn't fret over things like that.
It doesn't really matter.

But, if I cheat or tell a lie,
Or do mean things to make folks cry,
Or if I'm rude or impolite
And do not try to do what's right,
Then, that does really matter.

It isn't looks that makes one great,

It's character that seals your fate.
It's what's within your heart, you see,

That makes or mars your destiny.
And, that does really matter.
