Inspiration

Today I've been listening to Katy Perry.  Particularly, this album:


I always, always love her music.  There's something about it that makes me smile, and I think her lyrics are usually pretty creative.  But out of all the songs on all her albums, I have to say that "Firework" is my favorite so far.  Have you ever payed attention to the lyrics?  If not, you should.  They are incredubly uplifting and inspiring, and for this reason I've posted them below (Enjoy!):

Firework
By: Katy Perry

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 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
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 your a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "oh! oh! oh!"
Your 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 a reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads 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 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 your a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "oh! oh! oh!"
Your gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been in 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 your a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "oh! oh! oh!"
Your gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe

Boom, boom, boom
It's even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
It's even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
