Have a Theme Song for 2011? You Do Now!


Last year’s theme song, “Morning’s Breaking,” is a powerful song of perseverance and hope in troubling times. It’s message has, and will continue to, reassure me.

“Weeping may endure for the night, but joy is coming in the morning light.”

Hard times have lasted longer for some of us than others. And it’s hard to stay positive when the money problems, relationship troubles, work stress, health issues, and everything else keeps coming. But you must know “your deliverance, your help, your breakthrough is on the way.”

These hard times will end. And “after the hurricane comes the rainbow.”  That’s why the song for 2011 is Katy Perry’s “Firework.” This is a song of self-assurance, triumph and celebration.

“Firework” is about knowing who you are, what you have to offer the world, and living your best self. “If you only knew what the future holds … Maybe you’re the reason why all the doors are closed. So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.”

This is a New Year. A new beginning with new positive energy.

Let your light shine – and keep looking up!

Lyrics to “Firework” by 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 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-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

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 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 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
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 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
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
