I was driving home from the store the other day and heard this song by Kate Perry – Firework. Certainly not the first time I’ve heard it but I heard it differently and decided I had to put it on the blog!
Just like artists, no two fireworks are the same. So embrace your originality, know how amazing you are and light up the sky with your creations.
You, my friends, are all fireworks!

I think every one of us has those moments of doubt that she talks about but in reality, when we are in our creative zone, we are artistic fireworks.
Here’s to your creative success – can’t wait to see you light up the sky!
– Tara Reed
Here are the lyrics –
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught 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 gunna 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
I love this song (also the Glee version) and agree that we have to embrace our originality. I think many think that their differences are a weakness and weirdness…but it is originality and authenticity instead. We have to think of the positive side of things…
Thanks for sharing! I was not familiar with this song, as not the type of music I normally listen to but I love the visual that it evokes in my mind and the actually video. Each life does count and we all shine in our own unique way and must learn not to hide our ‘Fireworks’!
