Katy Perry - Firework Lyrics

Artist: Katy Perry

Album: Teenage Dream

Genre: Pop

  • Songwriters: Esther Dean, Mikkel Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Katy Perry, Sandy Julien Wilhelm

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 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
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

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 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

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 you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

    Wow "Take THAT Pop Culture"!! You are terribly cynical for only being 12. I'm sad for you. You're missing out on a lot of fun in your childhood. Seriously, lighten up dude!!! School isn't everything.

    I also would like to respond to the "Take THAT pop culture!" comment:

    I love Katy Perry! She has already said she's not role model material, but I always feel inspired by her lyrics and her courage to be herself. That's good enough for me.
    "What is our society coming to"? Rather funny coming out of a 12 year old. You are too young to know how society was like in the past, much less fully grasp how society is like now.
    It's also funny that a home-schooled kid is talking about what they teach in public school. From my experience, public school never had a pop culture brainwashing class. I've never heard a teacher tell us who to idolize, whether it be Miley Cyrus or George Washington.
    If you want someone to blame for pop culture brainwash, blame the media. Or even friends, for they introduce artists to their own friends to become fanatic over. If you feel immune to pop culture, it's only because you are so sheltered, and for that, I feel sorry for you.
    Your feelings of superiority over your peers simply because you do not go with the flow, your hatred for a young artist simply because he is popular; this reflects your ignorance of the world. You have a lot to learn, and I hope that by the time you get to college you will outgrow these feelings, be more open-minded, and be able to learn and function in a larger, more public and social environment than your own home.
    I love a lot of popular music and artists. That doesn't affect my ability to learn or understand. If anything, it makes me a more cultured person. And I made it to college just fine. Take THAT.

    To: Take THAT pop culture

    You're 12 years old? When I was 12 years old, I worshiped pop music and artists like Katy Perry and loved BOYS like Justin Bieber. You need to learn how to dance around in your underwear and sing into a hairbrush, just because it's fun.
    Being smart is awesome but it's also not everything; you need to make time in your life to have fun too.

    SHE is a good role model now? What is our society coming to? Blame our public schools. Why are we paying our hard earned cash into buildings where we are wasting away, being told that Katy Perry is a person to idealize. I'm homeschooled and I think that school is a waste of time. I am 12 years old and while most people my age are thinking about how hot that moron Justin Beiber is, I am in college. Take THAT pop culture!
