Hello dear friends,
I was driving home after picking up my son Jordan from school yesterday and this song came on the radio. We turned the volume up high and sang along at the top of our voices – we were so caught up with the up-beat music and the lyrics that being in tune was the furthest thing from our minds!! I think the words are stunning, and so appropriate and in line with how we should see ourselves, and I felt compelled to share it with you. I have edited it slightly so you can read it as a lesson rather than a song…..
Firework by Katy Perry
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 and screaming
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
Because there’s a spark in you
You’ve just got to ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Because you’re a firework
Come on show them what you’re worth
Make them go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky,
Come on let your colors burst
Even brighter than the moon.
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 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 blow
And when it’s time, you’ll know
You’ve just got to ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
You’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make them go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re going leave them all in awe
It’s always been inside of you,
And now it’s time to let it through…..
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
Until next time………..
Love and hugs,
Your friend, Doris
