I walked into the shelter,
The greyhound greeted me.
I knew that he deserved a chance,
The hope in his eyes I could plainly see.
They said, "Tell me why you bother,
Why you waste your time this way.
He is only one of thousands,
Does it matter anyway?"

And I said, "It matters to this one.
He deserves a chance to grow.
It matters to this one.
I can't save them all I know.
But it matters to this one,
I'll help him be what he can be.
It matters to this one,
And it matters to me."
