“Firework” is meant to be an inspiration for anyone who’s ever felt worthless or unloved. Its message that everyone is beautiful and capable of leaving the world in awe really resonates with artist Katy Perry. In fact, she has said that “Firework” is her favorite of all the songs she’s ever written. In an interview at the Grammy’s, she said that she was inspired to write the song after reading a paragraph in Jack Kerouac’s novel On the Road. Be sure to peep this video of Katy explaining “Firework” in her own words. [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July [Chorus] 'Cause baby, you're a firework C'mon, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y Baby, you're a firework C'mon, let your colors burst Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" You're gonna leave them all in awe, awe, awe [Verse 2] 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 a reason why all the doors are closed So you can 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 [Pre-Chorus] You just gotta ignite the light And let it shine Just own the night Like the Fourth of July [Chorus] 'Cause baby, you're a firework C'mon, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go, "Aah, aah, aah" As you shoot across the sky-y-y Baby, you're a firework C'mon, let your colors burst
