[00:16.400] |
I'm driving around town |
[00:19.400] |
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down |
[00:22.270] |
See a girl on the bus stop bench |
[00:25.070] |
Dressed to draw attention |
[00:28.610] |
Hoping everyone will stare |
[00:31.270] |
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear |
[00:34.170] |
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her |
[00:37.290] |
What she wants is already there |
[00:43.220] |
A star is a star |
[00:46.180] |
It doesn't have to try to shine |
[00:49.310] |
Water will fall |
[00:52.170] |
A bird just knows how to fly |
[00:55.570] |
You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom |
[00:58.900] |
Or light how to fill up a room |
[01:01.400] |
You already are what you are |
[01:05.520] |
And what you are is beautiful |
[01:14.010] |
Heard a story the other day |
[01:17.000] |
Took place at the local VA |
[01:20.060] |
A father talking to his dying son |
[01:23.010] |
This was his conversation |
[01:26.300] |
"It's not supposed to be like this |
[01:28.910] |
You can't go first I can't handle it" |
[01:31.920] |
The boy said "Dad now don't you cry, |
[01:34.870] |
Remember when I was a child |
[01:35.920] |
what you used to tell me |
[01:39.210] |
when I'd ask why?" |
[01:41.129] |
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity |
[01:44.140] |
It doesn't try to pull you down |
[01:47.200] |
Stone is stone |
[01:49.820] |
It can't help but hold its ground |
[01:53.220] |
The wind just blows, though you can't see |
[01:56.140] |
It's everywhere like I'll always be |
[01:59.230] |
You already are what you are |
[02:03.070] |
And what you are is strong enough |
[02:11.820] |
Look in the mirror |
[02:14.240] |
Now that's another story to tell |
[02:17.590] |
I give love to others |
[02:20.600] |
But I give myself hell |
[02:24.040] |
I'd have to tell myself |
[02:26.500] |
In every scene there's a perfect plan" |
[02:29.770] |
Everything I hoped to be |
[02:32.550] |
I already am |
[02:37.300] |
A flower is a flower |
[02:40.050] |
It doesn't have to try to bloom |
[02:42.990] |
And light is light |
[02:45.740] |
Just knows how to fill a room |
[02:49.500] |
And dark is dark |
[02:51.760] |
So the stars have a place to shine |
[02:55.090] |
The tide goes out |
[02:56.960] |
So it can come back another time |
[03:01.260] |
Goodbye makes a love so sweet |
[03:03.740] |
And love is love so it can teach us |
[03:08.700] |
We already are what we are |
[03:13.010] |
And what we are is beautiful |
[03:19.800] |
And strong enough |
[03:22.580] |
And good enough |
[03:25.590] |
And bright enough |
