All I ever have to be... is a Firework?

There is a song that I grew up (Amy Grant has actually be around for a lot longer than popular music would like you to believe) that both reminds me of who I am meant to be and also I send to other people as all I expect of them. The song is called, "All I ever have to be" and essentially in the lyrics (which I'll post) talk about how we do not need to be any more or less then who we are, that is who God created us to be. Katy Perry in Firework also talks about how there is only one of every human being on the planet, every person is unique, everyone has a different path but it doesn't make it less important, if anything it just makes it more RIGHT.

At the end of the day, all you ever have to be is....you.


"All I Ever Have To Be" - Amy Grant

When the weight of all my dreams

Is resting heavy on my head

And the thoughtful words of help and hope

Have all been nicely said

But I'm still hurting, wondering if I'll ever be the one

I think I am - I think I am

Then you gently re-remind me

That You've made me from the first

And the more I try to be the best

The more I get the worst

And I realize the good in me is only there because of who You are

Who You are...

And all I ever have to be is what You've made me

Any more or less would be a step out of Your plan

As you daily recreate me help me always keep in mind

That I only have to do what I can find

And all I ever have to be

All I have to be

All I ever have to be is what You've made me

"Firework" - Katy Perry

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?

Scream 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-y-y

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colours burst

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"

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

Maybe you 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 "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colours 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

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 "Oh, oh, oh"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a firework

Come on, let your colours 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

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
