What You Are歌詞

Jewel - What You Are
I m 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 don t stand out she thinks she ll disappear
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
What she wants is already there
A star is a star
It doesn t have to try to shine
Water will fall
A bird just knows how to fly
You don t 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
"It s not supposed to be like this
You can t go first I can t handle it"
The boy said "Dad now don t you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I d ask why?
