MUSIC BLAST: Katy Perry - Firework

Well, I realized today that I haven't posted a TGIF Music Blast post in a while, so even though it isn't Friday, I thought I would display the song that has been playing in my head all day long.
I don't think I even realized the strong lyrics to this song until the cover played last night on Glee. I think Lea Michelle did a wonderful job, but I'm still prone to the original. So I've listened to this song two or three times today. I have to admit, my favorite part of the song is the second half, but the whole song is pretty self-affirming. I like that...


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 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 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 falling down oh oh

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time you let it through-ooh-ooh
