Title: What You Are
Artist: Jewel


Ia¢æ¢âm driving around town
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
See a girl on the bus stop bench
Dressed to draw attention

Hoping everyone will stare
If she dona¢æ¢ât stand out she thinks shea¢æ¢âll disappear
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
What she wants is already there

A star is a star
It doesna¢æ¢ât have to try to shine
Water will fall
A bird just knows how to fly

You dona¢æ¢ât 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 a story the other day
Took place at the local VA
A father talking to his dying son
This was his conversation

a¢æ©«Ita¢æ¢âs not supposed to be like this
You cana¢æ¢ât go first I cana¢æ¢ât handle ita¢æ?
The boy said a¢æ©«Dad now dona¢æ¢ât you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when Ia¢æ¢âd ask why?a¢æ?

(Youa¢æ¢âd say) Gravity is gravity
It doesna¢æ¢ât try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It cana¢æ¢ât help but hold its ground

The wind just blows, though you cana¢æ¢ât see
Ita¢æ¢âs everywhere like Ia¢æ¢âll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough

Look in the mirror
Now thata¢æ¢âs another story to tell
I give love to others
But I give myself hell

Ia¢æ¢âd have to tell myself
a¢æ©«In every scene therea¢æ¢âs a perfect plana¢æ?
Everything I hoped to be
I already am

A flower is a flower
It doesna¢æ¢ât have to try to bloom
And light is light
Just knows how to fill a room

And dark is dark
So the stars have a place to shine
The tide goes out
So it can come back another time

Goodbye makes a love so sweet
And love is love so it can teach us
We already are what we are
And what we are is beautiful

And strong enough
And good enough
And bright enough
