原歌词

[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

歌词翻译

[00:17.15]	我开车在小镇周围闲逛
[00:19.86]	有些无聊，
[00:21.06]	摇下了车窗
[00:22.61]	看见一个女孩坐在公交车站的长椅上
[00:25.57]	穿得很闪闪亮亮
[00:28.80]	希望让大家都能够盯着她望
[00:31.35]	她想，如果她不够醒目的话
[00:32.61]	她就会隐没在人海之中
[00:34.41]	我多想陪在她身边
[00:35.96]	告诉她，给她讲
[00:37.42]	她梦想着要实现的其实已经实现了
[00:43.37]	因为星星就是星星
[00:46.28]	它并不需要努力去闪闪发亮
[00:49.54]	水往低处流
[00:52.30]	一只小鸟就自然会知道它该怎样展翅飞翔
[00:55.35]	其实你不需要告诉
[00:56.91]	一朵花怎样盛开
[00:58.56]	或者告诉光明该怎样把整个屋子点亮
[01:01.67]	因为你，已经是你自己了
[01:05.65]	而且，你自己，是美丽的
[01:14.51]	那天听了一个故事
[01:17.32]	它就发生在弗吉尼亚州
[01:20.28]	一个父亲对着自己临死的儿子哭诉
[01:23.14]	这是他们的谈话
[01:26.45]	“怎么会是这样呀？
[01:28.96]	你怎能提前离我而去呢，我无法承受这一切。”
[01:32.37]	孩子却说：“爸爸，现在不必为我哭泣。”
[01:35.18]	“您可曾记得我童年时，
[01:37.23]	我问为什么的时候，
[01:39.38]	您是如何回答的吗？”
[01:41.24]	您告诉我说：“地心引力，就是地心引力。
[01:44.24]	它不需要试就能拉你下来。
[01:47.25]	石头就只是石头。
[01:49.87]	它看起来没什么用，但是却支撑起了整块陆地。
[01:53.33]	风其实一直在吹，
[01:54.68]	尽管我们看不见
[01:56.39]	风其实无处不在，就像我们要永远作好我们自己一样永恒
[01:59.79]	因为你，已经是你自己了
[02:03.25]	而且，你自己，是很坚强的。”
[02:12.27]	望着镜中的自己。
[02:14.52]	我又有一个故事要讲述了。
[02:17.87]	我把爱奉献给大家，
[02:20.38]	但却对自己如同地狱般苛刻。
[02:24.31]	我必须告诉自己
[02:26.52]	“任何情况下
[02:27.42]	都有着一个完美的策略。”
[02:30.18]	每一件事，我都希望
[02:32.63]	我，能够做好，我自己。
[02:37.41]	花儿就是花儿。
[02:40.46]	其实它并不需要努力盛开。
[02:43.47]	光明就是光明。
[02:46.03]	就会知道如何把整个屋子点亮
[02:49.44]	黑暗就是黑暗。
[02:52.20]	所以，星星才会显得闪闪发亮。
[02:55.61]	海水涨潮，
[02:57.67]	是因为只有这样，它们才能在另一刻退潮。
[03:01.72]	因为有结束，爱情才如此甜蜜。
[03:04.82]	其实，爱情就是爱情。
[03:06.02]	所以，它能够让我们懂得
[03:08.53]	我们，其实已经是我们自己了。
[03:13.65]	而且，我们自己，是美丽的，
[03:20.05]	是坚强的，
[03:22.76]	是美好的，
[03:25.96]	是很闪亮的。
