The Joy of Fireworks

For centuries now, firework displays have been used as a form of celebration for important or historical events. It's a wonderful display which lights up the night sky with bright and vibrant colors and loud and cracking bangs. Each display, from place to place, is different and extraordinary.

Firework shows can be seen all across the world, whether it be for a national holiday or to celebrate a big sports moment. Each display differs in length and quality. Big city fireworks, take for example, shows in New York or Boston, are lengthy and brilliant. With fireworks that can explode to do a number of things such as creating images in the sky, these displays are hard to pass up if one ever had the opportunity to see them. Small city firework displays, brilliant in appearance, may not be quite as spectacular but are just as fun to watch. No matter where you go, firework shows can be seen on special occasions.

The best part of a firework show is the grand finale. With the crowd building up towards the end, the finale is what sends people home happy. This is where a number of fireworks are shot in the air repeatedly for a period of time creating a nonstop show of bright explosions in the sky. It's a beautiful display of lights and big bangs that enthrall those who are watching. After the show, people are left with a feeling of excitement and enjoyment. Fireworks are wonderful for making people happy and remembering and celebrating great moments.

Never Gonna Be Alone

by: Nickelback

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you.
Now I'm, wondering why, I've kept this bottled inside,
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't you fall...
Never gonna be alone!
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

And now, as long as I can, I'm holding on with both hands,
'Coz forever I believe that there's nothing I could need but you,
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

You've gotta live every single day,
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away,
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun.
Every single day,
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes...

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day,
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day.

Never gonna be alone - Nickelback
