Firework

Firework by Katy Perry......I chose this song for my blog because I can totally relate to it. During a difficult time this song came out and hit me like a brick. Every time I listen to this song it uplifts me. It is definitely on my MP3 player, which I currently cannot find. Hopefully soon. I have included the lyrics at the end of this posting.

Walking today around the track at the gym, I decided to say a prayer for my last lap. Just as I was saying, "I would REALLY like to see a sign from my gran....." (didn't get to finish the sentence) 2 cardinals decided to appear in the tree right next to me. All I could say was, "WOW you are quick!" Most people know that after my grandmother passed away I asked to see two cardinals when she was around me. It can come in any form; on a sweatshirt, in real life, on TV, I have even received a card in the mail with two cardinals on the stamp. Because my grandmother was a second mom to me, it was very important that received signs from her. It eases any pain I may be feeling and gives me the truth that there is life beyond what we see. My grandmother makes her appearances often and I always thank her. If I see one cardinal I will get a little sad but most of the time it only takes a few seconds until the second one makes it's appearance. Thank you Mimi for my sign today. Although I miss you dearly, I know you are always with me.

Lyrics to Firework:
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
