#7 English Song(Firework)

Firework(煙火)

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 falling down-own-own

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-y-y

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go 'Oh, Oh, Oh'
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own

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 falling down-own-own

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

"Firework", this song is described in the hearts of everyone has their own "Firework" and what is "Firework hearts of everyone?",  I think the best is synonymous with "courage", everyone in life face different difficulties, and the author is trying to say, "Hope everyone has enough courage to face life in every difficulty."

This song was introduced to me by a friend, the first to listen to this song though only understand a few words, but at the MV was able to deeply understand the song to give the audience the feeling that this is a very wonderful feeling, only say "Music without border"

Assignment #5: How do you like ESL Randall's Cyber Listening Lab as a language learning resource?

My English is bad. Because I don't know how to learn English.

In the Taiwan. Many people like me have this problem, I think it is probably related with the learning environment.
