I'm driving around town Kind of bored with the windows rolled down See a girl on a bus stop bench Dressed to draw attention Hoping everyone will stare If she don't stand there she think 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 the 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 asked why it take Gravity is gravity, it doesn't try to pull you down Storm is storm, it can't help but hold its ground Wind just blow as though you can 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 have to tell myself in every seed there's a perfect plant Everything I hoped to be I already am A flower is a flower, it doesn't have to try to bloom Light is light, just knows how it'd fill a room And dark is dark so the stars have a place to shine The tide goes out so it can come back in matter of time Goodbye makes alone so sweet And love is love so we can teach us We already are what we are and what we are is beautiful And strong enough and good enough and bright enough
