Many of you may be familiar with the new song by Katy Perry – Firework. (If not, you can check out the link below to listen.)
I really liked the song, but it wasn’t until yesterday that I really paid attention to the lyrics and when I did, it gave me goosebumps. It seemed that Katy was speaking directly to me as this was how I was feeling over the past couple of weeks.
I’ve made a lot of changes to my business as well as my mindset for this year.
The words in the song really resonated with the message that I’m putting forth to my peeps.
Read below for the lyrics:
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start againDo you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving inDo you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thingDo you know that there’s still a chance for you
Cause there’s a spark in youYou just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of JulyCause 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-yBaby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-ownYou 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 rainbowMaybe you’re reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it’s time, you’ll knowYou just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of JulyCause 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-yBaby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-ownBoom, 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 throughCause 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-yBaby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em goin’ “Oh, oh, oh!”Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Hi Jenn!
Wow, what an awesome song! I just watched the music video for it on YouTube and that just adds to the power of the lyrics.
Yes, I am definitely ready to shine and explode like a firework!!!
I know! I liked the song before, but now I love it! The other song that is my “life song” is Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. Look it up in case you’re unfamiliar with it. You’ll love that one too. ;- )
