baby you're a firework

As my friends know, I am basically obsessed with Katy Perry's song "Firework". I first started liking it because of the fun girly beat. But as I really started to listen to the lyrics I realized that song was really speaking to me. I now blast it daily and on repeat:) I love how songs can do this. I love how inspirational a few lines or lyrics can be and how they can speak to anyone's individual situation.
 If you really listen to the lyrics of "Firework" you see how inspirational this song can be. I am a young adult, struggling to figure out what I'm good at and where my place in life is. I may get scoffed at by my friends and family because I am constantly changing my mind of where I want my life to go but I know someday I will be very successful...who will be laughing then? The lyrics are below. Just read them and try to tell me they are not inspiring. Yes, this is a girly song (another reason why i love it), but it can apply to anyone, girl or boy. Then listen to. You'll be surprised at how much you end up loving it too. :)

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

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

As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go, oh

You're gonna leave 'em falling down

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 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

As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go, oh

You're gonna leave 'em falling down

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 you're worth

Make 'em go, oh

As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colors burst

Make 'em go, oh

You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Yes...I just had to... :)

So next time you are having a bad day and feel like you don't have the capability to do anything, blast this song as loud as you can, start jumping and dancing around, and you will feel so much better because...baby, you're a firework.
