What You Are - Jewel

[00:00.0]What You Are (你算什么) - Jewel (珠儿)
[00:17.01]I'm driving around town
[00:19.7]Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
[00:22.14]See a girl on the bus stop bench
[00:25.14]Dressed to draw attention
[00:27.53]Hoping everyone will stare
[00:31.19]If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
[00:34.09]Wish I could hold her tell her show her
[00:37.16]What she wants is already there
[00:42.6]A star is a star
[00:45.66]It doesn't have to try to shine
[00:49.08]Water will fall
[00:51.96]A bird just knows how to fly
[00:54.96]You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
[00:58.39]Or light how to fill up a room
[01:01.34]You already are what you are
[01:05.42]And what you are is beautiful
[01:14.35]Heard a story the other day
[01:16.31]Took place at the local VA
[01:19.94]A father talking to his dying son
[01:22.88]This was his conversation
[01:25.88]"It's not supposed to be like this
[01:28.66]You can't go first I can't handle it"
[01:31.87]The boy said "Dad now don't you cry
[01:34.86]Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why "
[01:41.59](You'd say) Gravity is gravity
[01:44.22]It doesn't try to pull you down
[01:46.36]Stone is stone
[01:49.47]It can't help but hold its ground
[01:52.95]The wind just blows though you can't see
[01:56.34]It's everywhere like I'll always be
[01:59.16]You already are what you are
[02:02.99]And what you are is strong enough
[02:12.16]Look in the mirror
[02:13.98]Now that's another story to tell
[02:17.37]I give love to others
[02:20.3]But I give myself hell
[02:23.18]I'd have to tell myself
[02:26.37]"In every scene there's a perfect plan"
[02:29.24]Everything I hoped to be
[02:32.68]I already am
[02:37.12]A flower is a flower
[02:39.82]It doesn't have to try to bloom
[02:42.93]And light is light
[02:45.27]Just knows how to fill a room
[02:49.4]And dark is dark
[02:51.95999]So the stars have a place to shine
[02:55.02]The tide goes out
[02:57.52]So it can come back another time
[03:00.46]Goodbye makes a love so sweet
[03:04.55]And love is love so it can teach us
[03:07.76]We already are what we are
[03:13.47]And what we are is beautiful
[03:19.97]And strong enough
[03:22.82]And good enough
[03:25.01]And bright enough
