[00:00.77]What You Are
[00:03.45]Jewel
[00:06.30]
[00:17.00]I'm driving around town
[00:20.00]Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
[00:22.87]See a girl on the bus stop bench
[00:25.67]Dressed to draw attention
[00:28.17]
[00:29.21]Hoping everyone will stare
[00:31.87]If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
[00:34.77]Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
[00:37.89]What she wants is already there
[00:43.23]
[00:43.82]A star is a star
[00:46.78]It doesn't have to try to shine
[00:49.91]Water will fall
[00:52.77]A bird just knows how to fly
[00:55.87]
[00:56.17]You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
[00:59.05]Or light how to fill up a room
[01:02.00]You already are what you are
[01:06.12]And what you are is beautiful
[01:11.31]
[01:14.61]Heard a story the other day
[01:17.60]Took place at the local VA
[01:20.66]A father talking to his dying son
[01:23.61]This was his conversation
[01:26.07]
[01:26.90]\"It's not supposed to be like this
[01:29.51]You can't go first I can't handle it"
[01:32.52]The boy said "Dad now don't you cry,
[01:35.47]Remember when I was a child
[01:36.52]what you used to tell me
[01:39.81]when I'd ask why?"
[01:41.40]
[01:41.73](You'd say) Gravity is gravity
[01:44.74]It doesn't try to pull you down
[01:47.80]Stone is stone
[01:50.42]It can't help but hold its ground
[01:52.99]
[01:53.82]The wind just blows, though you can't see
[01:56.74]It's everywhere like I'll always be
[01:59.83]You already are what you are
[02:03.67]And what you are is strong enough
[02:09.52]
[02:12.42]Look in the mirror
[02:14.84]Now that's another story to tell
[02:18.19]I give love to others
[02:21.20]But I give myself hell
[02:24.10]
[02:24.64]I'd have to tell myself
[02:27.01]In every scene there's a perfect plan"
[02:30.37]Everything I hoped to be
[02:33.15]I already am
[02:37.58]
[02:37.90]A flower is a flower
[02:40.65]It doesn't have to try to bloom
[02:43.59]And light is light
[02:46.34]Just knows how to fill a room
[02:49.87]
[02:50.10]And dark is dark
[02:52.36]So the stars have a place to shine
[02:55.69]The tide goes out
[02:57.56]So it can come back another time
[03:01.20]
[03:01.86]Goodbye makes a love so sweet
[03:04.34]And love is love so it can teach us
[03:09.03]We already are what we are
[03:13.61]And what we are is beautiful
[03:20.00]
[03:20.40]And strong enough
[03:23.18]And good enough
[03:26.19]And bright enough
[03:30.81]
