Something Important Lyrics

	Oh...
	Sometimes when I am doing something I really enjoy
	A friend knocks the door so I let her in
	She asks me,
	what are you up to?
	And I say, I don't know… nothing much
	Maybe I'll have a few books open looking at pages I like to see
	Or I'm listening to music
	Probably the telly's on
	And before she asked me what I was doing, I felt like I was really doing something
	Only now I am not so sure
	All the mountains high
	And the streams running high
	They don't ask why, why do I
	Something doesn't make
	Everytime I ask myself why
	Why I do that thing
	Shouldn't I be doing something important
	Maybe I'm doing nothing, just running through a film in my mind
	Or listening to cars outside on the street
	Then there will be a voice in my head
	The voice comes and she said
	Shouldn't you be doing something important
	Cuz look at you sitting through time and time running through you
	And away with you
	and what have you got to show for your time
	I don't know…
	All I know is I didn't worry about showing anything for my time
	Before I asked that question why
	Cuz something doesn't make
	Everytime I ask myself why
	Why I do that thing
	Shouldn't I be doing something important
	All the mountains high
	And the streams running high
	They don't ask why, why do I
