Might not be 100% correct, but I tried

I m driving around town
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
See a girl on a bus stop bench
Dressed to draw attention
Hoping everyone will stare
If she don t stand out she thinks she ll disappear
I 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 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 have to tell myself
In every seed 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
