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
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 wasted space
You're original, 
cannot be replaced
If you only knew
what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're the 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

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




I have a new love for this song. I generally don't listen to popular music, but there's just something about the words to this song. It encourages people and tells people what they don't hear every day. It's speaking to hearts when it says "You don't have to feel like a waste of space- you're original and you can't be replaced."
It speaking to the people who are afraid to step it up, which is most of us. I was afraid to step out and speak up and let my light shine because of fear of rejection. But I won't let that stop me now, and I hate to see other people being stopped because of fear! It's time to not be afraid anymore. It's time to let our colors burst and show people that we aren't afraid to be who we are and stand up for Christ and stand for who we are on the inside (as corny as that might sound) (Yes, I'm one of those people who take popular songs and imagine them in a spiritual context. Laugh. Okay, so anyways) it's true. This is an inspiring song. Take a listen. :)
