This week for Helen Vahdati’s Song Lyric Sunday she has said : Our theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is “self love”.
Well I have chosen a song by Norwegian singer song writer Maria Mena.
The lyrics are in the video and resonate very strongly to me.
Now just for good measure I am going to throw in another song that beautiful explores self love Firework by Katy Perry.
I love this song too.
“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, “Ah, ah, ah.”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah.”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe
You don’t have to feel like a wasted space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
May be 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 4th of July
‘Cause, baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah.”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah.”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe
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, -ough, -ough
‘Cause, baby, you’re a firework
Come on, show ’em what you’re worth
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah.”
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you’re a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make ’em go, “Ah, ah, ah.”
You’re gonna leave ’em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
