Special thanks to K for sending me this link! Good find. Inspiring, uplifting, rockin'.
So, Katy Perry is really pretty and is actually a good singer. Too bad that usually gets lost somewhere behind her sexy and usually crazy outfits, or maybe it's just behind her super wacky husband:
I'll get to the song in a minute. But before I do, I should share my all-time favorite Katy Perry video. I laugh every time I watch it:
Okay, now for today's song!
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 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 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 could 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 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.
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 slet 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.

How is it that you have only now found this song? It has been a regular on the Lightweight Men's erging playlist for at LEAST the last 3 months.
ReplyDeleteHere's how it happened: I am totally out of touch with pop culture. Pretty simple explanation, no? I rely on K to clue me in to the songs that are really worth hearing, and it saves me the trouble of sifting through all the other junk. And she came through for me again!
ReplyDeleteSee...my degree is actually worth something! In the time that I procrastinate from doing all the work that I should be doing, I manage to educate you! How about that? Is the grammar in that sentence correct? Do you procrastinate from doing something? Or is it just "in the time that I spend procrastinating?" I'm not sure. But I will sit here and ponder it for the next twenty minutes so that I don't have to do any other work during that time. And maybe I'll find another pop song for you, too.
