Firework/Lyrics


This may be a totally mainstream and slightly cheesy song but I'm loving Katy Perry's, "Firework" song right now. It's message is so uplifting and happy. It also makes for an excellent running song. The video is a little disturbing with sparks/fireworks exploding out of people's chests but still a great concept with a sweet message.

Katy Perry certainly is topping the music charts and covering every magazine now. Just like this song says, she is going off like a firework in today's entertainment world. I wonder if we can expect some sort of collaboration between her and new hubbie Russell Brand?


Here are the incredible lyrics below:

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing?

Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
Cause there's a spark in you.

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine.
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July.

Cause baby you're a firework.
Come on show 'em what your worth.
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y.

Baby you're a firework.
Come on let your colors burst.
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own.

You don't have to feel like a waste of space.
You're original, cannot be replaced.
If you only knew what the future holds.
After a hurricane comes a rainbow.

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed.
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow.
And when it's time, you'll know.

You just gotta ignite the light.
And let it shine.
Just own the night.
Like the Fourth of July.

Cause baby you're a firework.
Come on show 'em what your worth.
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y.

Baby you're a firework.
Come on let your colors burst.
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own.

Boom, boom, boom!
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon!
It's always been inside of you, you, you.
And now it's time to let it through.

Cause baby you're a firework.
Come on show 'em what your worth.
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y.

Baby you're a firework.
Come on let your colors burst.
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom!
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon!
Boom, boom, boom!
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon!
