Open Discussion Nov 28th – Dec 4th

Hope you all had a great holiday! My brain is still in slow-mode. *^_^* But there’s a lot going on this week, so I’d better wake up!

It may seem strange, but Monday (tomorrow) starts the first December week in Points4Prizes!  Yeah yeah, technically it’s a November date, but the rest of the week is pretty much December. Go with it. ^_^

I don’t have any thought provoking questions for open discussion this week. Aww! Don’t look so sad! I want to share a song with you instead.

In general, I’m not a fan of Katy Perry. Most of her songs fall into the “trashy” category for me. However, recently she released an absolutely beautiful song called Firework and I LOVE it! From what I understand, it was written in support of the “It Gets Better” campaign to encourage kids that life really does get better. And honestly, I think that’s a message that pretty much everyone needs to hear now and again.

Lyrics are posted below the video. I would love to hear some of your favorite songs too. ^_^

 

Lyrics for 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! Oh! Oh!”
As you shoot across the sky!

Baby, you're a firework!
Come on, let your colors burst.
Make 'em go, “Oh! Oh! 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 your 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! Oh! Oh!”
As you shoot across the sky!

Baby, you're a firework!
Come on, let your colors burst.
Make 'em go, “Oh! Oh! 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! Oh! Oh!”
As you shoot across the sky!

Baby, you're a firework!
Come on, let your colors burst.
Make 'em go, “Oh! Oh! 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.
