[00:17.15]I'm driving around town
[00:19.86]Kinda bored with
[00:21.06]the windows rolled down
[00:22.61]See a girl on the bus stop bench
[00:25.57]Dressed to draw attention
[00:28.80]Hoping everyone will stare
[00:31.35]If she don't stand out
[00:32.61]she thinks she'll disappear
[00:34.41]Wish I could hold her
[00:35.96]tell her, show her
[00:37.42]What she wants is already there
[00:43.37]A star is a star
[00:46.28]It doesn't have to try to shine
[00:49.54]Water will fall
[00:52.30]A bird just knows how to fly
[00:55.35]You don't have to tell
[00:56.91]a flower how to bloom
[00:58.56]Or light how to fill up a room
[01:01.67]You already are what you are
[01:05.65]And what you are is beautiful
[01:14.51]Heard a story the other day
[01:17.32]Took place at the local VA
[01:20.28]A father talking to his dying son
[01:23.14]This was his conversation
[01:26.45]“It's not supposed to be like this
[01:28.96]You can't go first I can't handle it”
[01:32.37]The boy said “Dad now don't you cry,
[01:35.18]Remember when I was a child
[01:37.23]what you used to tell me
[01:39.38]when I'd ask why?”
[01:41.24](You'd say) Gravity is gravity
[01:44.24]It doesn't try to pull you down
[01:47.25]Stone is stone
[01:49.87]It can't help but hold its ground
[01:53.33]The wind just blows
[01:54.68]though you can't see
[01:56.39]It's everywhere like I'll always be
[01:59.79]You already are what you are
[02:03.25]And what you are is strong enough
[02:12.27]Look in the mirror
[02:14.52]Now that's another story to tell
[02:17.87]I give love to others
[02:20.38]But I give myself hell
[02:24.31]I'd have to tell myself
[02:26.52]“In every scene
[02:27.42]there's a perfect plan”
[02:30.18]Everything I hoped to be
[02:32.63]I already am
[02:37.41]A flower is a flower
[02:40.46]It doesn't have to try to bloom
[02:43.47]And light is light
[02:46.03]Just knows how to fill a room
[02:49.44]And dark is dark
[02:52.20]So the stars have a place to shine
[02:55.61]The tide goes out
[02:57.67]So it can come back another time
[03:01.72]Goodbye makes a love so sweet
[03:04.82]And love is love
[03:06.02]so it can teach us
[03:08.53]We already are what we are
[03:13.65]And what we are is beautiful
[03:20.05]And strong enough
[03:22.76]And good enough
[03:25.96]And bright enough
