“Firework” cover by Suits and Ukes (lyrics included)

Cute video!

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?
6 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

Overtone – ‘Colourblind’

And it’s not just a game
You can’t throw me away
I put all I had on the line
And I give and you take
And I played the high stakes
I’ve won and I’ve lost
But, I’m fine

Hear me say I’ll rise up ’til the end
Hear me say I’ll stand up for my friends
And I crash to the ground
And it’s just my own sound
I drop in the blink of an eye
I’m colorblind

And your milky way fight
Won’t stop my delight
You keep me and lock me away
And it’s dark and it’s bright
It’s your colorful pride that kept me here 9000 days

Hear me say I’ll see the sky again
Hear me say I’ll drive for you my friend
There’s a noise in the crowd
But it’s just my own shout
A stumble I fall and I pray

Hear you say your eyes see green again
In the end we’ll lived up holding hands
Yes, we’ll spark in the night
We’ll be colorblind
And these are the lives we gave

Hear me say I’ll rise up ’til the end
Hear me say that I’ll stand beside my friends
I won’t stay on the floor
I will settle the score
A stumble I fall and I pray

Hear me say it’s time we stop talking
Eye to eye we see a different face
Yes we we’ve conquered the war
With love at the core
A stumble I fall, but I’ll stay
Colorblind.

Matt Smallbone – ‘Grace’

Performed by Stu Larsen

The flag I wave is drained of colour through
I ponder from this precipice a different point of view
A solitary thought I can’t contain
That grace is more complete in driving rain

And the rain is falling softly
Dripping down this thirsty morning
And the rain is falling
And autumn leaves will soon turn green

The mercy bell is ringing through the trees
The melody is strong enough to bring me to my knees
The darkened clouds can gather overhead
But hope will come and keep me to the end

And the rain is falling softly
Dripping down this thirsty morning
And the rain is falling
And autumn leaves will soon turn green

The faithless crowd turns and looks to you
No one goes to war without a whispered prayer or two
The muddied waters spread across your face
And suddenly I sense amazing grace

And the rain is falling softly
Dripping down this thirsty morning
And the rain is falling
And autumn leaves will soon turn green

Mike McCarthy – ‘Prepared For This’

Dull reflections mixed with colour
red and yellow, green, blue

Ocean lapping, sound familiar
Sun rising revealing new

Did you come prepared for this?

Take the time now, be your best
Don’t let them steal it from you

Kick it down now when they beat you
Tell you lies that forsake the skin

Did you come prepared for for this?

Sara Bareilles – ‘Red’

I’ve been down, I’ve been out
I did it all on my own
Seems growing up
Didn’t take long
I feel strange, I feel good
I feel better with you
You’ve changed, you should
Cause I think I did too

Made my mistakes
I did a few things right
But it will take what it will take
Baby, that’s life
You cannot change what you do not own
Everybody knows
But if you live deep and love strong
You get pretty damn close

It moves fast and it scares me
I close my eyes, oh but I still see

I’m fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don’t know how
And I’ll find my way out
When I’m in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red

I shake and I smile
Cause you said
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for
How you love is who you are

I dive in and I sink in
And I find new colors to think in

I’m fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don’t know how
And I’ll find my way out
When I’m in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red

In the distance is a line defining where I’ve been
Rhe state I’m in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I’ve been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars
Everything they said
Painted in red
Painted in red
Painted in red

I am fading in and out
What are you gonna do save me know
From all of this danger you don’t know how
I’ll find my way out
When I’m in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said

What are you gonna do
No way for you to save me
What are you gonna do
Everything that you gave me
Is painted in red
