偶尔间听到Jewel的歌，声音宛如天籁，歌词充满向上的力量，特别是她的这首What You Are，

唱给每一个看不见自己闪光的你，

唱给每一个徘徊的人生十字路口的你，

唱歌每一个因情伤而迷茫的你

唱给你，你就是你！

What You Are

By Jewel

你就是你

I'm driving around town 我开车在小镇闲逛
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down 有些无聊，摇下了车窗
See a girl on the bus stop bench 看见一个女孩坐在公交车站的长椅上
Dressed to draw attention 穿得很引人注意

Hoping everyone will stare 希望让大家瞩目

If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear 不醒目宁消失

Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her 我多想告诉她

What she wants is already there 她想要的已经得到

A star is a star 因为星星就是星星
It doesn't have to try to shine 它并不需要努力去闪亮
Water will fall 水往低处流

A bird just knows how to fly 鸟儿生就飞翔

You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom 花儿天生知道如何开放

Or light how to fill up a room 光线自然知道如何将房间点亮

You already are what you are 因为，你就是 你

And what you are is beautiful 而你，如此美丽

Heard a story the other day 曾经听过一个故事
Took place at the local VA 发生在弗吉尼亚州
A father talking to his dying son 一个父亲和临死的儿子的对话

This was his conversation 这是谈话的内容：

"It's not supposed to be like this 怎么会是这样
You can't go first I can't handle it" 你怎能先我而去

The boy said "Dad now don't you cry, 孩子却说：“爸爸，现在不必为我哭泣
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?" 你可记得儿时我问你为什么，你如何回答？

(You'd say) Gravity is gravity 您告诉我说：“地心引力，就是地心引力
It doesn't try to pull you down 它并不是想拉你下来
Stone is stone 石头就只是石头
It can't help but hold its ground 它不得不撑起整块陆地
The wind just blows, though you can't see 风一直在吹，尽管我们看不见
It's everywhere like I'll always be 就像我永远都在”

You already are what you are 因为，你就是你

And what you are is strong enough 而你，如此坚强

Look in the mirror 望着镜中的自己
Now that's another story to tell 又是另外一个故事

I give love to others 我宽以待人

But I give myself hell 却严以待己

I'd have to tell myself 我告诉自己
"In every scene there's a perfect plan" 做任何事都要有完美的策略
Everything I hoped to be 我都希望每一件事

I already am 能做最好的自己

A flower is a flower 花儿就是花儿
It doesn't have to try to bloom 不需要努力盛开
And light is light 光就是光
Just knows how to fill a room 生为将屋子点亮
And dark is dark 黑暗就是黑暗
So the stars have a place to shine 星星才有背景闪亮

The tide goes out 海水退潮

So it can come back another time 是为卷土重来

Goodbye makes a love so sweet 再见让爱情更加甜蜜
And love is love so it can teach us 爱情教会我们

We already are what we are 我们，就是我们自己

And what we are is beautiful 而我们，如此美丽
And strong enough 如此坚强
And good enough 如此美好

And bright enough 如此闪亮
