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

Water will fall

You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom

其实你不需要告诉一朵花怎样盛开

Or light how to fill up a room

You already are what you are

因为你，已经是你自己了

And what you are is beautiful

而且，你自己，是美丽的

Heard a story the other day

Took place at the local VA

(You'd say) Gravity is gravity

It can't help but hold its ground

Now that's another story to tell
