Sing It!

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 cavin' 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 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 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 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 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 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

successive clauses or verses.
Example:
“Be bold. Be brief. Be gone.”
“Get busy living or get busy dying.”
“Unexpectedly, we were in the
wrong event at the wrong time on
the wrong day.”
EAPPOSTROH
Apostrophe

present in the work. In this case,
the object is absent or inanimate.
Example:
“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I
wonder what you are.”
“O Death, where is your sting? O
Hades, where is your victory?”

with some important part with the
whole it represents.

crown.”

whatever Hollywood says is cool.”
PHESMIMEU
Euphemism
The use of subtle and non-
offensive words to conceal or to
replace the offensive words in a
statement.

away last week.
