Jewel - What You Are (Lyrics)

Lyrics:
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?"
You'd say Gravity is gravity
It doesn't try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can't help but hold its ground
The wind just blows, though you can't see
It's everywhere like I'll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough
Look in the mirror
Now that's another story to tell
I give love to others
But I give myself hell
I'd have to tell myself
"In every scene there's a perfect plan"
Everything I hoped to be
I already am
A flower is a flower
It doesn't 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

"A star is a star, it doesn't have to try to shine. You already are what are and what you are is beautiful."

Why isn't this song getting more likes or views? has more meaning that most F*cked up songs that the music industry churns out these days!

[@danielgideon4069]

Agree...currently song become commercial rather than a masterpiece that tell story, instrument of feel or encouragement song

[@orangejuice255]

I came here because I don’t love myself enough. And today I suffered again because of other people words, influencing me to change myself. I’m here to remind myself I’m good enough and I know I am and it’s a journey to reach there but one day I will finally love myself

In my 9,000 song library this one goes to the Top 50 easily. Really think each word was carefully placed, as they can't be changed at all. Goodbye makes hello so sweet, indeed. Also love the font used for the lyrics.
But I have no idea what Victoria's Secret has to do with it. :-)

[@livefree107]

I was like the girl in the video.. The girl on the bench
It really made me feel better what she said that the girl is a star
