Jewel - What You Are
I m driving around town
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
See a girl on the bus stop bench
Dressed to draw attention
Hoping everyone will stare
If she don t stand out she thinks she ll disappear
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
What she wants is already there
A star is a star
It doesn t have to try to shine
Water will fall
A bird just knows how to fly
You don t have to tell a flower how to bloom
Or light how to fill up a room
You already are what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Heard a story the other day
Took place at the local VA
A father talking to his dying son
This was his conversation
It s not supposed to be like this
You can t go first I can t handle it
The boy said Dad now don t you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I d ask why?
(You d say) Gravity is gravity
It doesn t try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can t help but hold its ground
The wind just blows, though you can t see
It s everywhere like I ll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough
Look in the mirror
Now that s another story to tell
I give love to others
But I give myself hell
I d have to tell myself
In every scene there s a perfect plan
Everything I hoped to be
I already am
A flower is a flower
It doesn t have to try to bloom
And light is light
Just knows how to fill a room
And dark is dark
So the stars have a place to shine
The tide goes out
So it can come back another time
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
And love is love so it can teach us
We already are what we are
And what we are is beautiful
And strong enough
And good enough
And bright enough
