[00:13.41]I'm driving around town
[00:16.01]Kind of bored with the windows rolled down
[00:18.75]See a girl on a bus stop bench
[00:21.73]Dressed to draw attention
[00:24.88]Hoping everyone will stare
[00:27.47]If she don't stand there she think she'll disappear
[00:30.45]Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
[00:33.75]What she wants is already there
[00:39.32]A star is a star, it doesn't have to try to shine
[00:45.65]Water will fall, a bird just knows how to fly
[00:51.63]You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
[00:54.57]Or light how to fill up a room
[00:56.71]You already are what you are and what you are is beautiful
[01:10.36]Heard the story the other day
[01:13.30]Took place at the local VA
[01:16.24]A father talking to his dying son
[01:19.03]This was his conversation
[01:22.32]It's not supposed to be like this
[01:24.90]You can't go first, I can't handle it
[01:27.89]The boy said, dad, now don't you cry
[01:30.89]Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me
[01:35.51]When I'd asked why it take
[01:37.61]Gravity is gravity, it doesn't try to pull you down
[01:42.69]Storm is storm, it can't help but hold its ground
[01:49.02]Wind just blow as though you can see
[01:52.16]It's everywhere like I'll always be
[01:55.15]You already are what you are and what you are is strong enough
[02:07.80]Look in the mirror, now that's another story to tell
[02:13.44]I give love to others but I give myself hell
[02:19.86]I have to tell myself in every seed there's a perfect plant
[02:25.29]Everything I hoped to be I already am
[02:33.06]A flower is a flower, it doesn't have to try to bloom
[02:38.69]Light is light, just knows how it'd fill a room
[02:45.07]And dark is dark so the stars have a place to shine
[02:50.95]The tide goes out so it can come back in matter of time
[02:57.12]Goodbye makes alone so sweet
[03:00.12]And love is love so we can teach us
[03:03.10]We already are what we are and what we are is beautiful
[03:15.60]And strong enough and good enough and bright enough
