Katy Perry - Firework

This song is quite popular you may say. My brother posted it on facebook followed by my ex-best-friend followed by other friends. It was also picked during the 1st time I went to K-box to sing. An inspirational kind of song. Hard to sing though. I'm especially unable to follow(even with the vocals on) the "make 'em go oh-oh-oh" part. Without vocals... I can't sing one tiny bit. Xp I'm not talented in singing. Can't remember the lyrics or the tunes. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is... (what was it already?)... the point is... (ah!) the point is this song shows us that we're original, irreplaceable, and not a waste of space, ya, that's the point....ya... ya.. ehem... onwards to the lyric after the jump.

LYRIC

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag(kinda)
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?(I always wanna start again)
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin(ya)
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?(easily)

Do you ever feel already buried deep?(often)
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing(I guess my voice too soft?)
Do you know that there's still a chance for you(there is?)
'Cause there's a spark in you?(what spark?)

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine(I can't find the lighter)
Just own the night like the 4th of July(In Malaysia, 4th of July means nothing)

'Cause baby, you're a firework(If just I am...)
Come on, show 'em what you're worth(I'll try, wish me luck)
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky(I'd really like that)

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst(Sounds fun, wonder when's my chance?)
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down(??fall??)

You don't have to feel like a waste of space(but...)
You're original, cannot be replaced(I'm not ori enough, like to pretend to be other)
If you only knew what the future holds(what does it hold?)
After a hurricane comes a rainbow(Is it? I've never seen a real-life hurricane)

Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed(so sad)
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road(but I dunno which to open)
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know(hopefully I don't miss the time)

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(but clouds can block it's light)
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through(I can't find the way to)

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth(what am I 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
