Lyrics
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind Wanting to start again

Do you ever 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 fourth of July

'Cause baby you're a firework Come on show 'em what your worth Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework Come on let your colors burst Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!" You're gonna leave 'em falling down down 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 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 fourth of July

'Cause baby you're a firework Come on show 'em what your worth Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework Come on let your colors burst Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!" You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe

Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon And 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 your worth Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!" As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework Come on let your colors burst Make 'em go "oh, oh, oh!" You're gonna leave 'em all in awe awe awe
