~Woman on a Mission Lyrics:

It’s time for me to make a move
And I know what i gotta do
Coz I got everything to prove
I got a plan I’m sticking to …

The word is that I’m over doubt
But I don’t let it get me down
I ain’t nobody’s push around
If they could only see me now
There’s only one thing on my mind
And I'm running out of time

I'm coming through so get out of the way

I am a woman on a mission, woah
Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever I wanna see this through
I am a woman on a mission, woah
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do I'm gonna lay it on the line

I won't give up without a fight
Coz I can see the finish line
Won't stop till I make you mine
To read the writing on the wall I'm ready here and standing tall
So people think they know it all
So I guess I'll have to show them all
There’s only one thing on my mind
And I'm running out of time
I'm coming through so get out of the way

I am a woman on a mission, woah
Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever I wanna see this through
 I am a woman on a mission, woah
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do I am a woman on a mission, woah
Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever I wanna see this through
I am a woman on a mission, woah
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do

I never give up, I never give up, I never give up I'm on a mission
I never give up, I never give up I'm gonna see this through
I never give up, I never give up, I never give up I'm on a mission
Whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do.

~Baz Luhrman -Wear Sunscreen~






~Katy Perry - Firework Lyrics~

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag


Drifting throught 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 Fourth of July



Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your 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 gunna leave 'em fallin' 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 you're reason why all the doors are closed

So you can 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 Fourth of July



Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y



Baby you're a firework

Come on slet your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em fallin' 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



Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y



Baby you're a firework

Come on slet your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"



Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
