AS YOU ARE

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, 
 everyone will respect you.” 
- Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching 

LYRICS


AS YOU ARE
You could have been a flower blowing in the breeze
Lending your scent to the air
You could have been the colour calling to the bees
Or the butterfly that lands there
You could have been the grass, could have been the trees
Could have been a star
But you are you, and beautiful as you are

You could have been the virgin winter snow
Or the sweetest Autumn rain
You could have been the birds singing in their joy
When Spring comes round again
You could have been a mountain, could have been a stream,
Evening sky above a turquoise sea,
But you are you, and that's all you ever need to be


You could have been a poem, could have been a song
Could have been a melody
You could have been any magical part
Of this sweet life's symphony
You could have been the moon, could have been the sun
Could have been a star,
But you are you, and beautiful as you are.
