This song is on the radio a lot, and I really like the beat. But I never really listened to the lyrics until a few days ago. As I was driving alone, I was able to concentrate on the words and I just started bawling. They are so moving and hit me right in my core. I need to listen to this every morning. We all do.
Kristen N., this song is for you.
"Firework"
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?
6 feet under screams 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 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're 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 all in awe, awe, awe
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 your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're 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 all in awe, awe, awe
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-ough-ough
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're 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 all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Yup. I actually prefer the Glee cast version, by Lea Michele, over the Katy Perry version. I have the Glee version on CD and I listen to it a lot ... the words make me feel like I can do it, that I have potential, that I can make it. Sometimes, well, you probably now how it feels. Not quite making it, not quite as capable as I think other women are ... !!
Wow, a Katy Perry song that has good lyrics. I've never listened to the words before either. Love feel good songs. Too bad the explicit version is cheaper than the clean version on amazon. :) Crazy world. Thanks for sharing this.
I love this song! I'm sure you won't be surprised to find out that this is my ringtone. I'm glad you were able to listen to the words. Thanks for thinking of me! Love you right back!
