Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,Drifting through the windWanting to start again?Do you ever feel, feel so paper thinLike 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 thingDo 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 shineJust own the night like the 4th of July'Cause baby you're a fireworkCome on, show 'em what you're worthMake 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a fireworkCome on, let your colours burstMake 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"You don't have to feel like a wasted spaceYou're original, cannot be replacedIf you only knew what the future holdsAfter a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closedSo you could open one that leads you to the perfect roadLike a lightning bolt, your heart will glowAnd when it's time, you'll knowYou just gotta ignite the light, and let it shineJust own the night like the 4th of July'Cause baby you're a fireworkCome on, show 'em what you're worthMake 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby, you're a fireworkCome on, let your colours burstMake 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"You're gonna leave 'em all in "awe, awe, awe"Boom, boom, boomEven brighter than the moon, moon, moonBoom, boom, boomEven brighter than the moon, moon, moon

The city streets beneath your feet can make you tough. I’d fought for fame, but when it came too much was never enough.But in my mind once in a while I’d find a place to be;where air is pure and water’s fresh, and people are your family.
It took some time to figure out I’d gone off the track;but somewhere in a dream I heard a voice calling me back.
To New Zealand, kaingatuturu; it’s the part of me that no-one else can own. New Zealand, deep down in my heart; it can call to me just like a childhood song - that’s where I belong. You’ve got to go away from home to find out what home means; those tinsel towns the world around were really not a part of me.
I made some friends, but in the end they didn’t sing my song; I felt the hand of my own land, the land that made me strong. Around the world I looked for it but I don’t know why; it was here all along, it makes you know what money can’t buy.
New Zealand, kaingatuturu; it’s the part of me that no-one else can own. New Zealand, deep down in my heart; it can call to me, the land that I call home.
New Zealand, kaingatuturu; it’s the part of me that no-one else can own. New Zealand, first place in the sun; New Zealand, it’s my country, it’s my home.
