I matter because I'm me, you matter because you're you, are words written by 8 year old Holland Smith for a Reflections Music writing competition (grades 3 - 6) and won 1st place in Utah's regional contest. It will be entered in the state in Feb., 2021.  Sometimes we learn the best lessons from smaller people.  This children's song is perfect for a soloist or a choir.  Follow her words as you listen:
 
I matter because I’m me.
You matter because you’re you.
I like books, you like bikes.
I like to swim, you like to hike.
Like a box of crayons
We come in different colors
But when we blend together
Everybody matters.

I matter because I’m me.
You matter because you’re you.
I like red, you like blue.
I like green and so do you.
Like a box of crayons,
We come in different colors
But when we blend together
Everybody matters!
But when we blend together
Everybody matters!

This arrangement of Alfonso XII has been adapted for unison chorus and set to a piano accompaniment. This song tells a story about Alfonso XII, King of Spain from December 1874 until his death in November 1885. It is a song tale known in many Latin American countries. As is typical of folk songs, there are many popular variations and additional verses. English translation: Where are you going, Alfonso XII? Where are you going so sadly? I am looking for Mercedes because I lost her yesterday. Mercedes is already dead, and it's true because I saw her. Four dukes carried her through the streets of Madrid. The lanterns of the castle no longer want to light, Because Mercedes has died, and they are in mourning. Poor little Mercedes, she died like a flower. Similar arrangements for SATB, SAB, TB, and 2-part choirs are also available. You may also find this song under the alternate title ¿Dónde vas, Alfonso Doce?.

A song I wrote at the request of the South Brazil Mission of the International Mission Board SBC, for their Annual South Brazil Mission Meeting in 1997 while we were serving the churches of the Federal District Baptist Convention in the capital city of Brasília (1000 miles into the interior of the country).
The key reference here is Matthew 24:4-14...
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.—KJV
