Firework – Katy Perry

Para ler ouvindo!

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 “Ah, ah, ah!”
As you shoot across the sky “Ah, ah!”

Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Ah, ah, ah!”
You’re gonna leave them all in “awe, awe, awe”

You don’t have to feel
Like a wasted space
You’re original,
Cannot be replaced

If you only knew
What the future holds
After a hurricane
Comes a rainbow

Maybe a 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’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 “Ah, ah, ah!”
As you shoot across the sky “Ah, ah!”

Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Ah, ah, ah!”
You’re gonna leave them 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 you’re worth
Make ‘em go “Ah, ah, ah!”
As you shoot across the sky “Ah, ah!”

Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Ah, ah, ah!”
You’re gonna leave them 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

Alguns meses atrás, fiz um post de uma música que sempre me inspira quando ouço, Defying Gravity. Hoje posto mais uma dessas músicas, que me atinge como uma flecha quando toca, de tão cheia de significado que é a sua letra. Ela fala que todos temos fogos de artifício dentro de nós e que devemos deixá-los explodir e espantar todos com a nossa capacidade de brilhar. Somos todos especiais e não há porque nos deixarmos ser oprimidos.

Acho também que esta música se encaixa no tema de outro post que fiz, o “O quê você está esperando?”, já que também diz para pararmos de esperar para brilhar, e que devemos tomar conta da noite, como se fosse o dia 4 de julho (dia da Independência dos EUA, um dia cheio de fogos de artifício e comemorações).
